I have started with the topic of architecture and chose Xenotheka as Alice’s Brain. I searched for the word orders. I then also added the words columns and rustication. I tried also different brains, as for example the library of Homer’s friends as well Xenofeminism, Coco and Rem library. The first combination proved to be…

The book under analysis is a work by Johann Rudolph Feasch, Des Jacobi Barozzi von Vignola Grund Regel.
