I dieci libri dell'architettura di M. Vitruuio

Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (ca.80–70 B.C.–15 B.C.). I dieci libri dell'architettura di M. Vitruuio. Translated by Daniele Barbaro (1514–1570). Venice: Francesco Franceschi Senese, 1567.

This section of Vitruvius’s De Architectura, translated by famed Venetian architect Daniele Barbaro, compares musical harmonies to architectural structures on the basis of ratios and proportions. The shift from animal skin to paper as well as from handwritten works to machine printed works reshaped the design of books, including music books, in early modern Europe.
