Title: The Architecture of A. 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, highways, bridges, market-places, xystes, and temples, with their plans, sections, and uprights. To which are added several notes and observations made by Inigo Jones never printed before; revis'd, design'd, and publish'd by Giacomo Leoni... Translated from the Italian original Author: Palladio, Andrea Place: London Publisher: Printed by John Watts, for the Author Date: 1715-[1720] Description: 4 books in 2 volumes. Text in English, French & Italian. With frontispiece, portrait + 230 numbered copper-engraved illustrations, 12 in the text, others on separate plates, some double-page. 44.2x28 cm. (17¼x11"), period paneled calf, raised bands, later lettering pieces. First Complete Edition in English. The famous Four Books of Architecture of Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), first published in 1570 in Venice. This edition appears to be the first printing of Palladio in Grand Format. Palladio, influenced by Roman and Greek architecture, primarily by Vitruvius, is widely considered the most influential individual in the history of Western architecture. The present edition is finely printed on thick paper, with excellent impressions of the plates. Some of the plates are double-page, and at times these double plates are given two or three numbers; a few of the plates contain two numbered illustrations; and 12 of the numbered illustrations are in the text. This results in differing plate counts in catalogue entries, but this copy is complete as issued. With the bookplates of the Earl of Aylesford. Lot Amendments Condition: Expert repairs to joints; just a few instances of light foxing within; a fine copy. Rare in this condition. Item number: 214743
