Alberti, The Architecture of Leon Battista Alberti in Ten Books

 
 

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 Alberti’s reputation as a theorist is founded.
