The Origins of the Greek Architectural Orders (Paperback)

Much of our understanding of the origins and early development of
the Greek architectural order is based on the writings of ancient
authors, such as Virtruvius, and those of modern interpreters.
Traditionally, the archaeological evidence has been viewed
secondarily and often made to fit within a literary context,
despite contradictions that occur. Barbara Barletta s study
examines both forms of evidence in an effort to reconcile the two
sources, as well as to offer a coherent reconstruction of the
origins and early development of the Greek architectural orders.
Beginning with the pre-canonical material, she demonstrates that
the relatively late emergence of the Doric and Ionic orders arose
from contributions of separate regions of the Greek world, rather
than a single center. Barletta s reinterpretations of the evidence
also assigns greater importance to the often overlooked
contributions of Western Greece and the Cycladic Islands."
