1. General plan of the Basilica of St. Peter, as Bramante designed it.
This plan, commenced in 1513, was only partly executed; the architects who succeded him in the direction of the work made so many changes that, with the exception of the four great arches supporting the cupola, scarcely anything of the original design remains, and the idea itself would have been lost had not Serlio, his disciple, taken care to preserve the design. (Serlio, Libro terzo delle Antichità; Venezia, in fol., 1540, p. xxxvii. Bonanni, Historia Templi Vaticani, pl. x, p. 50.
2-3. Plan, elevation and section of the cupola, as proposed by Bramante. (Bonanni, Ibid, pl. xii and xi.)
4-5. Plan and transverse section of the cloister of the collegiate house called della Pace in Rome, commenced by Bramante shortly after his arrival in Rome 1504, by order and at the cost of Cardinal Olivier Caraffa. (Vasari, Vite de; Pittori, vol.ii, p. 44.)
6. Portion of the section no. 5 on a larger scale.
7. Detail of the entablature of the upper order.
8. One of the composite column between the pilasters of the second story.
9. Detail of the Ionic order of the ground floor.
10. General plan of the cloister of the Monastery of S. Pietro in Montorio, Rome, according to the design of Bramante, perserved by Serlio; the circular temple in the center was alone executed.
11-12, 16. Plan, elevation, and transverse section of the small temple, generally regarded as one of the finest works of Bramante, and the only modern temple that Palladio considered fitted to appear amongst the ancient temples he had collected. (Palladio, I quattro libri d'Architettura; Venezia, 1570, in fol., book iv, chap. xvii, p. 64.)

25. Corinthian capital of the first order of the exterior decoration.
