EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a page from Marcus Vitrubius Pollio's "De Architectura" (On Architecture), translated into Spanish by Miguel de Urrea and edited in Alcala de Henares by Juan Gracian in 1582. The illustration on page 35 showcases the human body canon, a fundamental aspect of Vitruvius' work that explores the relationship between architecture and the proportions of the human form.
The intricate xylography technique used to create this image adds depth and texture to the depiction, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail present in both Vitruvius' writings and this visual representation. The combination of text and illustration provides a comprehensive understanding of ancient architectural principles, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
Located in Salamanca University Library in Spain's Castile and Leon region, this historical artifact offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 16th century. The fusion of Roman engineering knowledge with Spanish translation demonstrates the enduring influence of Vitruvius' teachings across different regions and time periods.
