Description:
The work of the most influential Italian Architect is translated from his original ‘I quattro libri dell'architettura’. Other translations and adaptations of his work have come since the original that Palladio began in 1555, which was not published in its four volume entirety until 1570. The Leoni translation, which we have here, changed much of the text in its attempt to translate the original. Even so, his translation became a huge stepping stone in American and British ‘Palladianism’ where the work could finally be understood in their language. Leoni was the first to publish a complete version of the four book in English, making his influence of the reader grand. This copy was printed in London by the famous Scottish printer Andrew Millar. This edition is a reprint of the 1715 -1720 edition that was originally published by Leoni, but now with Inigo Jones marginalia from his own copy of the text (original) and Andrea Palladio's Le antichità di Roma and Discourse on the Fires of the Ancients.
