About this book

On the Art of Building in Ten Books by Alberti, Leon Battista. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780262510608.

De Re Aedificatoria, by Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472), was the first modern treatise on the theory and practice of architecture. Its importance for the subsequent history of architecture is incalculable, yet this is the first English translation based on the original, exceptionally eloquent Latin text on which Albertis reputation as a theorist is founded.
