Palladio; in Four Books Containing a Short Treatise of the Five Orders and the Most Necessary Observations Concerning all Sorts of Building, as Also the Different Construction of Private and Publick Houses, High-ways, Bridges, Market-Places, Xystes, and Temples, with Their Plans, Sections, and Uprights.
Author: Andrea Palladio (1518-1580).
Publisher: Printed by John Darby for the Author.
Illustrator: All the Plates by John Vantack.
Publication date: 1721.
Edition: Second edition in English.

Description: 4 parts in 2 volumes in one. Fo. Engraved frontispiece, engraved portrait of Palladio, 215 copper-engraved plates by Bernard Picart, Michael Vandergucht, John Harris and others (most full-page, 15 double-page and a few in text). Hardcover with contemporary calf spine cover, period boards. Second edition in English of Palladio's influential architectural treatise, translation by Giacomo Leoni.

Measures: 18.75 x 12 x 2.5 inches (465 x 284 mm).

Notes: The two editions form ''a turning point in the history of British Palladianism,'' marking not only the first complete English translation of I Quattro Libri but the first use of ''worthwhile engraved copies of the original woodcuts'' (RIBA). While portions of the original Italian text had been translated into English during the 17th century, the first edition in English in 1715 sparked a Palladian architectural revival in Great Britain and its American colonies. Fowler 224; Berlin Kat. 2598; ESTC T22366; RIBA 2392. less
