Alcune osservazioni su Joachim Camerarius biografo (e traduttore) di Albrecht Dürer
No full textIn this essay the author reconsiders Joachim Camerarius’s long
preface to the Latin edition of Albrecht Dürer’s Human Proportion (De symmetria
partium in rectis formis humanorum corporum) translated by Camerarius himself
and published in 1532 in Nuremberg «at the expense of Dürer’s widow». This
edition is analyzed here in comparison with the Latin translations of Albrecht
Dürer’s Instruction on Measurement (Institutiones geometricae) and Instructions on
Fortification (De urbibus, arcibus castellisque condendis ac muniendis) published in
Paris by Christian Wechel between 1532 and 1535, without the widow’s permission.
Thanks to this analysis, with new evidence, the author investigates
how Camerarius himself helps to defend Dürer’s legacy, as a creative artist and
as a theorist on art.– In this essay the author reconsiders Joachim Camerarius’s long preface to the Latin edition of Albrecht Dürer’s Human Proportion (De symmetria partium in rectis formis humanorum corporum) translated by Camerarius himself and published in 1532 in Nuremberg «at the expense of Dürer’s widow».

La ' città ideale' di Albrecht Dürer. Fonti e fortuna fra XVI e XVII secolo
No full textIn this article the author proposes an overall reconsideration of the Albrecht Dürer’s plan for a quadrate town published in his Treatise on Fortification (Nuremberg 1527), paying constant attention to the surviving sources. In particular, the author demonstrates that it is likely that Dürer drew formal inspiration for his quadrate town plan, and for the accurate external defensive system from earlier Italian architectural models – drawings by Leonardo and some parts of the Libro dell’arte della guerra by Machiavelli. For this reasons, it’s dismissed any dependence of Dürer’s quadrate town plan from utopian or different models, such as Thomas More’s Amauroto or the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan. Furthermore, in this article the author investigates also the significative reception of Dürer’s treatise in Italy, well-known thanks to the Latin version (Paris 1535)
