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.
A new and valuable resource which immediately relegates to the category of a curiosity Rykwert's earlier republication of James Leoni's translation... Now all those involved with architecture... can listen to Alberti and find that be has much to say that will interest them. -- John Onians Building Design
