Andrea Palladio. I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura (1570)

Andrea Palladio. I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura - Venice,1570 PDF, 86.7 MB

Andrea di Pietro della Gondola, known to history as "Palladio," was born in 1508 in Padua, a mainland possession of the island-based Republic of Venice.

In 1570, following years of preparation, he published in Venice the masterwork that ensured his place in architectural history, I Quattro Libri dell' Architettura The Four Books of Architecture. The book set out his architectural principles as well as practical advice for builders. The most critical element, perhaps, was the set of meticulous woodcut illustrations drawn from his own works to illustrate the text.

Mitrich.ID,

I have always wanted this work. Whenever I have found it before (in hard copy) it has always been beyond my finances. Thank you so very much for sharing this-it will mean many hours of very pleasant study.
