The publisher's orb and cross device appears on the penultimate leaf and in the illustration on leaf H5 verso. The text is illustrated with 136 woodcuts measuring from 52 x 128 mm. to 230 x 132 mm. These are diagrams, plans, architectural details…, and illustrations of engineering machinery in use. The block on leaf G8 verso is printed upside down. The title features an elaborate woodcut title border with dolphins. A very fine copy bound in 18th c. English paneled calf (rebacked, corners bumped, extremities worn, modern endpapers.) The leaves are very fine and unwashed, with numerous 16th c. marginal annotations in Books I-III and less frequently in Books 4, 8, and 10; the woodcut on leaf folio 41 verso colored at an early date. Minor cosmetic blemishes as follows; title v. lightly soiled, light oil stain to upper margin of folio 77; folio 97 recto dusty and with a few light stains; light marginal dampstain to lower outer corner of final gathering; last leaf soiled on verso, occ. marginal soiling. The 1511 edition of Vitruvius' "De architectura" marks a revolutionary development in the Renaissance reception of Vitruvius and the book's influence on Renaissance architecture. It holds the distinction of being the first illustrated edition, with woodcuts based on drawings by the editor, the Veronese architect and engineer Fra Giovanni Giocondo, whose achievements include the construction of the bridge of Notre Dame in Paris and his appointment as architect of Saint Peter's basilica in Rome. The book, illustrated with 136 woodcuts (some inspired by illuminated drawings in the Vatican Library), was printed in Venice, where Fra Giocondo served as chief architect for Venice's ruling Consiglio dei dieci ("Council of ten"). While beautiful, the woodcuts were not intended as merely decorative but rather as practical visual aids for architects, urban planners, and engineers. The title explains their function explicitly: "M. Vitruvius per Iocundum solito castigatior factus cum figuris et tabula ut iam legi et intelligi possit" ("M. Vitruvius, made more correct, with figures and tables to make it possible to read and understand the text".) The explanatory "tables" mentioned in the title are found at the end of the book, with the text printed in three columns. Also a learned humanist, Fra Giocondo improved the text, filling in lacunae using manuscripts unknown to earlier editors and providing shoulder notes in the margins. The book, therefore, served two audiences: the humanist theorists who influenced Renaissance culture; and the architects, craftsmen, and urban planners who realized these concepts in concrete form. In his dual capacity as architect/engineer and humanist, Fra Giocondo was uniquely qualified to influence the shaping of Renaissance Venice. In his professional capacity, he was charged with the improvement of the city's infrastructure, in particular the amelioration of the build-up of silt in the Venetian lagoon. As an intellectual, close to the future Doge Andrea Gritti, he helped realize the "Renovatio urbis" (the "renewal of the city"), satisfying the Venetians' desire to see their city reflect principles of classical culture and design. Fra Giocondo's 1511 Vitruvius is a testament to the confluence of these two currents, the intellectual and the practical, which would raise Venice in a short time to a city that could compete with Renaissance Rome as a magnet for architects. Moreover, the book's editorial and graphic excellence exerted a profound influence on later editions. The significance of Giocondo and his book in the development of Venice was succinctly stated by the 18th c. art historian Scipione Maffei, who wrote that Giocondo "could be called the second edificator of Venice" ("potea chiamarsi secondo edificator di Venezia".) "Fra (Frate) Giovanni Gioconda was one of the most distinguished architectural theorists and practitioners of his time. During his long career he served three kings -Ferrante of Naples, Charles VIII, and Louis XII of France- the Venetian republic, and the papacy. "During his stay in Naples, Fra Gioconda met several distinguished Renaissance architects and humanists and began his work on Vitruvius. In c. 1489 he may have contributed to the engineering project to bring water to Poggio Reale and to the moats of Naples; he overlapped with Giuliano da Sangallo, whom he met again at the end of their lives in Rome at the construction site of Saint Peter's. In 1492 he is recorded as taking an apprentice in Naples for five years. That year he may also have worked with Francesco di Giorgio Martini on a translation and illustration of Vitruvius, which Francesco offered to the duke of Calabria. "After the invasion of Naples by the French army, Fra Gioconda was invited back to France by Charles VIII; he is documented in France in 1498 and was there perhaps as early as 1495. In 1500 he built the bridge of Notre Dame in Paris, considered by Vincenzo Scamozzi as the first classical bridge of the Renaissance. Fra Giocondo's presence in Paris marks the beginning of Vitruvian studies in France; the public and private lectures that he offered are documented by the notes of his pupil Guillaume Budé. "Fra Giocondo passed from French royal service into the service of the Venetian republic, where he worked as hydraulic and military engineer between 1506 and 1514. He worked on the improvements of the port of Venice, threatened by deposits of the Brenta river. In 1514 he made a design for the Rialto bridge and surrounding buildings in Venice in the form of a Roman forum. "Fra Giocondo's publication of his edition of Vitruvius in 1511 is the best remembered of his Venetian projects. It was dedicated to Pope Julius II, at a time when Venice was making its peace with the papacy, and Fra Giocondo may have envisaged his own, eventually realized, move to Rome. Fra Giocondo's claim for his edition is that he reconciled the reconstitute.

Second Venetian edition of Vitruvius's ten books De Architectura, with Latin commentary by the Italian humanist Daniele Barbaro (15141570) and printed by Francesco de Franceschi in 1567. Barbaro, a well-known Venetian patrician and patron of the arts, made editions ofVitruvius's works in Italian (Venice: Francesco Marcolini, 1556) and Latin, as here, a revised edition in smaller format. According to Barbaro, his commentary took over nine years to complete. The work is a landmark contribution to Vitruvian studies of the Renaissance; manyof his peers regarded Barbaro as an "intellectual light" of his time and his architectural treatises useful in current practice. The illustrations in this volume, including the famous Vitruvian man, were the result of a fruitful collaboration with Italian architect Andrea Palladio (15081580), begun probably in the early 1540s. Together, their development of the illustrated architectural book greatly impacted the study of classic architecture and design aesthetics in the Renaissance. This revised edition is uncommon outside of the usualinstitutions.
