Notes:
Subtitles vary with contents.
Text confined to captions.
The work is organized into "volumes" of 12 "cahiers" each of 6 leaves of plates, the whole thereafter combined into "tomes" which include the 50 cahiers of the Supplement au recueil elémentaire d'architecture. The complete work was offered in two formats, a 6 v. (tom.) set and a 3 v. (tom.) set, in each instance including the Supplément. Cf. Final leaf of Supplement which offers a title list of cahiers and the format choices.
Title pages of constituent vols. apparently misnumbered or misplaced when designating vol. nos. Vol. 2 of tom. 1 has captions variously indicating cahiers as suites or livres in addition to the numerous other sequences of numbers.
