The Traité de Lutherie sheds new light on the mental processes of craftsmen from a bygone era. François Denis gives instrument makers of today the keys to a codification of form that underpinned the design of the mythical instruments made by the great Italian craftsmen.

In addition to these historical aspects, the book provides a considerable amount of previously unpublished information about techniques for ruler-and-compass drawing jealously guarded by mediaeval and Renaissance craftsmen. It is therefore also a real instruction manual for those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the most emblematic forms of the instrument maker's craft and of the thought processes from which they sprang.
