Product Description

Vitruvius's Ten Books of Architecture was the fountainhead of architectural theory in the Italian Renaissance. This treatise did not however address all of the questions that were of concern to early modern architects. This 1999 study examines the Italian Renaissance architect's efforts to negotiate between imitation and reinvention of classicism.
