Some leaves originally remargined with paper strips to ensure uniformity throughout the volume. The first and only two installments of the Roman publisher Giannini s intended series on the complete works of the pioneering Baroque architect, a publication project initiated by Borromini himself but left unfinished at the time of his death and realized in two of the most beautiful architecture books ever printed. Born Francesco Castelli in the village of Bissone, in the southernmost canton of Switzerland, Borromini moved first to Milan, where he studied masonry and sculpture, and then to Rome, where he made his career as one of the most important architects of the seventeenth century. His influences ranged from Michelangelo to classical antiquity, nature and mathematics, but he was above all committed to originality and re-envisioned each of these sources, along with many others, to create some of the most ingenious and breathtaking examples of High Baroque architecture. Borromini was also an outstanding draughtsman and unusual for his time in preferring fine, sharply pointed graphite pencils for his drawings, which allowed him to create remarkably clear renderings. Around 1659/1660 he decided to present several of his drawings in a publication and to this end had them engraved by Domenico Barrière (ca. 1615-1678), a former student of Claude Lorraine. The project was left unfinished at Borromini s suicide in 1667, shortly before which he had burned many of the drawings and prints. A number of them did, however, survive and were passed onto his nephew.
