| This book, the last and greatest of Vredeman's books, perpetuated not only the Renaissance interest in the subject, but also the important work done by Durer, from who Vredeman acquired much of his knowledge. The engravings are demonstrations on Vredeman's theories of perspective, and include exteriors of architectural structures, Gothic interiors, gardens, medieval townscapes, and views into domes or vaults and down many-tiered stairwells. Included are 73 plates reproduced from the 1604/5 edition, plus original title pages and dedication pages with new translations by Stanley Appelbaum. Paperback, 74 pages. ISBN:486201864. DOVER |
