Second or third printing of this important work on religious and military structures by the famous Venetian architect. "Vasari credits [the widely sought-after] Sanmicheli with the introduction of the new classical architecture to the Venetian territories and with the invention of both flanking and forward fire from open bastion platforms, which ultimately led to the abandonment of casemates"--Millard.
