Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Fine. Text printed in Roman type, with a few words in Greek. The publisher's orb and cross device appears on the penultimate leaf and in the illustration on leaf H5 verso. The text is illustrated with 136 woodcuts measuring from 52 x 128 mm. to 230 x 132 mm. These are diagrams, plans, architectural details, and illustrations of engineering machinery in use. The block on leaf G8 verso is printed upside down. The title features an elaborate woodcut title border with dolphins. A very fine copy bound in 18th c. English paneled calf (rebacked, corners bumped, extremities worn, modern endpapers.) The leaves are very fine and unwashed, with numerous 16th c. marginal annotations in Books I-III and less frequently in Books 4, 8, and 10; the woodcut on leaf folio 41 verso colored at an early date. Minor cosmetic blemishes as follows; title v. lightly soiled, light oil stain to upper margin of folio 77; folio 97 recto dusty and with a few light stains; light marginal dampstain to lower outer corner of final gathering; last leaf soiled on verso, occ. marginal soiling. The 1511 edition of Vitruvius' "De architectura" marks a revolutionary development in the Renaissance reception of Vitruvius and the book's influence on Renaissance architecture. It holds the distinction of being the first illustrated edition, with woodcuts based on drawings by the editor, the Veronese architect and engineer Fra Giovanni Giocondo, whose achievements include the construction of the bridge of Notre Dame in Paris and his appointment as architect of Saint Peter's basilica in Rome. The book, illustrated with 136 woodcuts (some inspired by illuminated drawings in the Vatican Library), was printed in Venice, where Fra Giocondo served as chief architect for Venice's ruling Consiglio dei dieci ("Council of ten"). While beautiful, the woodcuts were not intended as merely decorative but rather as practical visual aids for architects, urban planners, and engineers. The title explains their function explicitly: "M. Vitruvius per Iocundum solito castigatior factus cum figuris et tabula ut iam legi et intelligi possit" ("M. Vitruvius, made more correct, with figures and tables to make it possible to read and understand the text".) The explanatory "tables" mentioned in the title are found at the end of the book, with the text printed in three columns. Also a learned humanist, Fra Giocondo improved the text, filling in lacunae using manuscripts unknown to earlier editors and providing shoulder notes in the margins. The book, therefore, served two audiences: the humanist theorists who influenced Renaissance culture; and the architects, craftsmen, and urban planners who realized these concepts in concrete form. In his dual capacity as architect/engineer and humanist, Fra Giocondo was uniquely qualified to influence the shaping of Renaissance Venice. In his professional capacity, he was charged with the improvement of the city's infrastructure, in particular the amelioration of the build-up of silt in the Venetian lagoon. As an intellectual, close to the future Doge Andrea Gritti, he helped realize the "Renovatio urbis" (the "renewal of the city"), satisfying the Venetians' desire to see their city reflect principles of classical culture and design. Fra Giocondo's 1511 Vitruvius is a testament to the confluence of these two currents, the intellectual and the practical, which would raise Venice in a short time to a city that could compete with Renaissance Rome as a magnet for architects. Moreover, the book's editorial and graphic excellence exerted a profound influence on later editions. The significance of Giocondo and his book in the development of Venice was succinctly stated by the 18th c. art historian Scipione Maffei, who wrote that Giocondo "could be called the second edificator of Venice" ("potea chiamarsi secondo edificator di Venezia".) "Fra (Frate) Giovanni Gioconda was one of the most distinguished architectural theorists and practitioners of his time. During his long care. …
