On the Art of Building in Ten Books
Author(s): Leon Battista Alberti; Joseph Rykwert (Introduction by, Translator)
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.
