"As one might well expect from a scholar who has dominated his
field for over a half century, [the book] is nothing short of
magisterial in its authority and encyclopedic in its range. . . .
Between the bookends of the 1540s and 1630s, this full, gloriously
illustrated (even by Yale's standards), and extensively documented
work simply brims with copious examples of virtually every sort of
architectural construct characteristic of the chosen era."-Robert
Tittler, Sixteenth Century Journal -- Robert Tittler * Sixteenth
Century Journal *
