SOURCE: Vitruvius. De Architectura (Como, 1521), ed. Cesare Cesariano, Liber decimus, p. CLXV NOTES: This 1521 edition of Cesare Cesariano's translation and commentary on Vitruvius's treatise entitled 'De Architectura' (Ten Books on Architecture) is the first edition of the treatise not in Latin. Vitruvius's original, unillustrated treatise was written during the first century BC. The woodcut illustrations in this edition, most probably drawn by Cesariano, are largely based on the cuts in the 1511 edition of Vitruvius edited by Giovanni Giocondo.
NOTES: A third of the City's buildings were destroyed by aerial attack between September 1940 and March 1945. The Salters' Hall that stood on this site was destroyed by fire during the air raids of the 10th and 11th May 1941. The site was redeveloped following the demolition of the hall in 1951.
