PALLADIO, Andrea (1508-1580). The Architecture ... in Four Books containing a Short Treatise of the Five Orders ... revis'd, design'd, and published by Giacomo Leoni ... translated from the Italian Original [by Nicholas Dubois]. London: John Darby for the author, 1721.
4 parts in one volume, 2º (455 x 285mm). Engraved frontispiece, portrait and 218 plates on 203 sheets by R. Picart, M. Vander Gucht, J. Harris and T. Cole. (Title lightly browned, light browning to a few plates and occasional soiling to plate margins, several plates at end with small wormtrack in margin, a few plates misbound.) Contemporary panelled calf, speckled edges (joints cracked, extremities worn, some scuffing). Provenance: Louisa Catherine Howe, Marchioness of Sligo (1767-1817; book label and Westport House bookplate) – Jasper More (bookplate).
SECOND EDITION of Leoni's English version, using the same plates as that of 1715-[1720]. The two editions form 'a turning point in the history of British Palladianism,' marking not only the first complete English translation of I Quattro Libri but the first use of 'worthwhile engraved copies of the original woodcuts' (RIBA p. 1348). Berlin Kat. 2598; ESTC T22366; Fowler 224; RIBA 2392.
