Loading... The Architectural History of Veniceby Deborah Howard
None. Revised and enlarged edition of the original in 1980. I always take Deborah with me when visiting Venice. The chapters about the Medieval City; Gothic; Early Renaissance are the best. (  ) Dettingmeijer | Oct 6, 2009 |  An important guide to the architectural history of Venice from the Byzantine period through the 1980's. Written by Deborah Howard, one of the foremost experts in the field of Venetian art, architecture and history. Includes photographs by Sarah Quill and Deborah Howard. Includes a glossary of architectural terms and Venetian words and a lengthy bibliography. (  ) caley | Sep 10, 2007 | If you know the relevant scientific literature, you will soon recognize that this work is full of errors, false pretences and is generally a highly questionable selection of the edifices. Not to recommend at all. (  ) Pozzo | Mar 3, 2007 | If you are going to Venice and want to know more than the average guidebook offers, I recommend Howard's book. For a book on architectural history, its VERY readable. ( ) rmay525 | Feb 1, 2007 | I got married in Venice and as an architecture buff I wanted to make sure I knew what was what - er ahem - I mean I wanted to understand the architectural backdrop to my wonderful wedding and enhance the experience for my wife to be and the wedding party. (That sounds better). So I bought this book and learned a lot about the Byzantine,medieval, renaissance aspects of Venetian architecture (and, ahem, especially those buildings along our wedding processional route) Nuff said. Anybody got a spade? ( ) fotofacade | Sep 22, 2006 | no reviews | add a review
