- Double-weighted statement
- The fourteen chapters of this 491pp book - based on original research on a notably wide range of sources (documented in a 50 pp. list) - are divided into three thematic parts focusing on aspects of the reception of the Naturalis Historia: engagement by antiquarians with the wonders both of Rome’s architecture and elsewhere in the Mediterranean in the work; Pliny’s reflection in renaissance architectural theory; and the influence of the Naturalis Historia on artistic practice. The aim is to question the narrative that architects in renaissance Italy looked largely to Vitruvius and the physical remains of the antique world.
