Specialist Notes
Rare copy edition of illustrious provenance, of the most ambitious Spanish architectural treatise to date, a provocative work in which the author argues for the superiority of "oblique" architecture over "straight" (Vitruvian) architecture , and & nbsp; censures Bernini's projects for the colonnade around St. Peter's Square, the staircase in the Vatican and the equestrian statue of Emperor Constantine.
The work is the first of eight publications published under the brand name "En la Emprenta Obispal por Camillo Corrado" (Typis Episcopalibus apud Camillum Conradam) in the Italian city of Vigevano, where Caramuel was bishop from 1673 until end of his life. & nbsp;
