The importance of this dictionary stems from Quatreme're's profound reflections on the nature of architecture: on the principles which are at the source of his rules and on the roles of imitation and invention within tradition.This book provides the first English translation of the theoretical essays from his seminal work, Le Dictionnaire Historique d' Architecture.
