This book examines the creative exchanges between architects,
artists and intellectuals, from the Early Renaissance to the
beginning of the Enlightenment, in the forging of relationships
between architecture and emerging concepts of language in early
modern Italy. The study extends across the spectrum of linguistic
disputes during this time - among members of the clergy, humanists,
philosophers and polymaths - on issues of grammar, rhetoric,
philology, etymology and epigraphy, and how these disputes
paralleled and informed important developments in architectural
thinking and practice. Drawing upon a wealth of primary source
material, such as humanist tracts, philosophical works,
architectural/antiquarian treatises, epigraphic/philological
studies, religious sermons and grammaticae, the book traces key
periods when the emerging field of linguistics in early modern
Italy impacted on the theory, design and symbolism of buildings.
