Architectura curiosa nova
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple library catalogs and databases (including local catalogs, Internet Archive, and Google Books) yielded no evidence of an English translation of Georg Andreas Böckler's 1664 work, 'New Curious Architecture' (likely referring to his 'Architectura Curiosa Nova'). Given the lack of any record of an English edition, it is highly probable that no translation exists.
