New York, Oxford University Press, 1986. Hardcover. Half-bound cloth with black spine and taupe covers, and gilt lettering on the spine; black-and-taupe DJ with brown and taupe lettering and b&w-photo illustration; 329 pp.; richly illustrated. "From the late 1500s to the mid-1700s, Italy gave the world some of the liveliest and most imaginative structures in the history of architecture. The first comprehensive study in English of this critical period, this well-illustrated book offers chapters on key architects--Gianlorenzo Bernini, Francesco Borromini, Pietro da Cortona, Guarino Guarini--as well as detailed treatments of the work of many less well-known architects who were active from Sicily to Venice." -- WorldCat.
