Comment on Greetings – 92 This book caught my eye while browsing through the post because of its engravings. While this one contains a variety of examples of niches, mine serves as a tour guide of several different fountains of Rome. Many of those are very luxurious and rather big in size. Specially those who…

I think the connection to the notebooks of leonardo da vinci is a really interesting one to be made,and one that works for my books as well.

Comment on Argument_13: I searched through the blog and came across your blog post. As I read your essay the first paragraph reminded me of my book: „Archisesto” by Otto Revesi Bruti. The title of your book „Architectura” is the same as of my book „Archisesto” only in a different language. My book is all about the five orders…

Comment on Argument_39: Hello! Your book seems to have many similarities with my book “La militare architettura” which was written by Pietro Ruggiero.
