Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 8vo (24 cm), X, 414 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (paper slightly toned). "Paper Palaces" explores the development of architectural treatises during the Renaissance, tracing the evolution of the genre from its roots in the medieval manuscript tradition to the printed books of the sixteenth century.

The contributors offer new insights into the ideas of the treatises and discuss their significance in Renaissance Italy and their long-lasting influence throughout Europe. The book also traces the decline of treatises in the late seventeenth century through the influence of the French theorist Claude Perrault and new forms of architectural literature.The treatises, written for architects as well as for patrons and builders, illustrated ideal projects for villas, temples, palaces, and indeed cities. These "paper palaces" sought to establish design norms by adapting the rules of antique architecture to suit northern European building practices and contemporary needs.…
