Filippo Brunelleschi: the buildings.
"Reassesses and interprets B's architectural work on the basis of previously unpublished archival evidence and in the light of modern research on early Renaissance Florence. The buildings are also considered in context of the political, economic and religious environment of early 15th c. Florence. Reexamines B's style, making clear distinctions between the architect and his major contemporaries. Major chapters deal with the role of leading patrons. An extensive selection of documents is provided" (BHA).
