Sommario/riassunto

This scholarly work examines the concepts of citation, quotation, and



mindset in the context of Early Modern architecture. It explores how architects and theorists drew upon ancient and contemporary texts, architectural designs, and cultural influences in shaping their works. The book highlights the interplay between literary citations and architectural quotations, analyzing historical examples such as Vitruvius, Filarete, Palladio, and Borromini. It also delves into the cultural transmission of architectural knowledge across regions, including Europe and colonial Mexico, and the reinterpretation of architectural forms over time. The book is a collection of essays by various contributors, aimed at an academic audience with interests in architectural history, theory, and the humanities. It provides a critical framework for understanding the intellectual and practical processes behind architectural creation during the Early Modern period.
