The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works

high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The

followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and
Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style
dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments
in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture,
architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional
works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic
operas, and more are also included. ++++The below data was compiled

LibraryT095463Translated from the Italian of Andrea Palladio by
Nicholas Dubois, and edited by Leoni. Published without the notes
and observations made by Inigo Jones called for on the titlepage,
for which an apology is made in the preface to vol.4, pt.2. Vols 2
and London: printed by John Watts, for the author, 1715-20. 4v.,

Palladio ist wahrscheinlich der einfluBreichste aller westlichen
Architekten. Trotz seiner Bekanntheit wird sein Werk haufig falsch
interpretiert. Die palladianische Villa wird oft als isoliertes
Objekt analysiert, kontextlos und einem neuplatonischen Ideal
nachstrebend. Darliber hinaus werden Palladios Stadtbauten kaum in
Zusam- menhang mit den einfluBreicheren landlichen Villen gesehen.
Deshalb werden haufig die seinen Werken zugrunde liegende Haltung
zum Raum und die flir seine Bauten charakteristische ordnende
Beziehung zur Umgebung vernachlassigt. Solche Ansich- ten scheinen
von einer spezifisch modernen Sensibilisierung herzurlihren. Der
"Kult des Objekts", wie ihn das 20. Jahrhundert entwickelte, und
der Hang zur Abstraktion haben unser Bild Palladios verdlistert.
Die optische Evidenz, die Gebaude selbst wer- den miBachtet. Rudolf
Wittkower hat in seiner bekannten Studie liber die Prinzipien von
Palladios Architektur unabsichtlich das Bild von der
palladianischen Villa als eines freistehen- 1 den Objekts
befordert. Indem er die flir die Landwirtschaft vorgesehenen
Flligelge- baude yom Plan der Villen eliminiert und sich auf die
proportionalen Beziehungen innerhalb des zentralen Wohnhauses
konzentriert, schlieBt Wittkower, daB die Ent- wicklung der
palladianischen Villa in der Villa Rotonda kulminiere (Abb. 7, 8).
Witt- kowers eindringliche Analyse ignoriert nicht nur die
Komplexitat der Villenkompo- sition als ganzer, sie laBt auch
Villen auBer Acht, die urn einen Hof herum gebaut sind und keinen
zentralen Wohnteil besitzen. In der Folge haben verschiedene
Gelehrte diese Beispiele als isoliert oder atypisch beschrieben und
damit unterstellt, daB diese Gebaude nicht mit Palladios Gesamtwerk
auf einer Linie liegen.
