Original edition of this fine work on the civil work of the great architect Sanmicheli (1484-1559). Extremely rare in any form, two parts were later added covering his ecclesiastical and military architecture in 1830-32 and then republished together.

Sanmicheli was engaged by Pope Clement VII to examine and repair the fortifications in the northern Papal States. He was later employed by the Venetian Republic (from 1535) and designed many palaces, some of them reworkings of designs of Bramante, Raphael, the Sangallo family, and Michelangelo.

Attractive uncut example. Some spotting to the outer edges. Minor stain to top of inner board. Minor staining to two plates. Pages 33/34 bound in basic to front.
