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. While Leonardo isn’t writing about himself explicitely in these texts,the nature of notebooks is one that inherently offers us some insight into the aouthor themself.It offers us insight…

Comment on Text&Image_38 Your book is in some aspects similar to mine. Le „Memoires sur les objets les plus importants de l’architecture” is also written in French. I was looking in the search bar for “french book”. The french translation from Vitruvius by Claude Perrault was written earlier though than the book from Pierre Patte. Whilst Claude…

Greetings_36 I think your book has some similarities to mine regarding its illustrations and layout. Mine ( Perspectiva pictorum et architectorum, from Andrea Pozzo)also has some illustrations concerning defensive wall infrastructure. Even the shape of the walls you showed in your photos is very similar to the ones Pozzo is showing. The layout is also…

Comment on_28 In the second chapter of my book: Dell’architettura. Dialogi di Ermenegildo Pini C.R.B. the author also wrote about fortifications. Even though there might be less illustrations in my book, the authors of our books approached the topic of the fortification in a mathematical way with lots of formulas. The book: “Architectura militaris” by…

First I chose the inside cover of the book. I first noticed in the online version that at the corner of the page, there seemed to be red ink seeping through onto the page. Only while holding the physical book in my hand, I realized that the pages have been inked on the side and…
