Juan Bautista Villalpando’s ezechielem Explanationes: A Sixteenth-Century Architectural Text

2009 0-7734-4806-3
This is the first translation into English of Juan Bautisa Villalpando’s Book Five of In Ezechielem Explanationes et Apparatus Vrbis Templi Hierosolymitani. After its publication in 1604 the work stimulated a debate—over not only the architecture of Solomon’s Temple but on the very nature of the origins of architecture—that endured for more than one hundred and fifty years, in the form of commentaries and other reconstructions.
