The Architectural Treatise in the Italian Renaissance: Architectural Invention, Ornament and Literary Culture
Payne, Alina A. (University of Toronto)
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.
