Synopsis
"There may not be any book on architecture so delightful to dip into; one wishes there were a pocket edition to take on an Italian vacation--not only for its information and vision but for such pleasant reminders as that the citizens of Treviso carried Tullio Lombardo's friezes through the town in triumph before they were attached to a building."--D. J. R. Bruckner, "New York Times Book Review"

'This is the first English translation of an extraordinary work of scholarship first published in Burckhardt's native German in 1867. Peter Murray, A British authority on Renaissance building, has done an admirable job of editing and revising it.'-Paul Gapp, Chicago Tribune
