This book considers the full spectrum of Scarpa's work concentrating especially on his museum projects. It closely follows Scarpa's complex multidimensional personality covering the vicissitudes of his career his ideas and their relationship to those of the modern masters his cultural milieu and his unique architectural contribution which is imbued with a profound feeling for craft. Over 360 black and white and full color drawings and photographs of Scarpa's built works are integrated with plans and process drawings in a way that provides an experiential as well as formal understanding of the projects.

This magnificently bound five volume catalogue is to a large extent tantamount to a bibliography of French naval and colonial history describing 17108 works printed up to 1842 plus approximately 3000 later acquisitions short-title listed in the index only. It was compiled under the supervision of Louis Marie Bajot 1775-d. "after 1854" Inspector General of the library of the ministry of the French navy in collaboration with Angliviel in charge of the ministry's library of maps and charts. The compilation of the catalogue required remarkable cooperation of numerous librarians in Paris the ports and far-flung places such as Pondicherry and Guadeloupe. The catalogue in fact lists the contents of no less than eleven libraries belonging to the Ministère de la Marine: its main library and the Dépot général des Cartes et Plans in Paris; the libraries of the naval bases at Cherbourg Brest Lorient Rochefort and Toulon; and the naval hospitals of these ports except for Lorient. It also gives a list of six colonial naval libraries. In all cases the names of the librarians in charge and their salaries are given interestingly Bajot's was 7000 frs while Angliviel's was more than double at 18000 frs per year. This information is repeated in the preliminary matters of each volume. The catalogue itself preferably describes the copies of the two Paris libraries otherwise those in one of the other nine libraries; three columns indicate the symbols and shelf numbers of the eleven libraries in three columns headed "Ports" "Hôspitaux" and "Paris." During the Restoration and especially under Louis-Philippe the binding atelier of the Imprimerie Royale under the direction of a certain Courtois bound the official publications of the Imprimerie in good calf bindings for the ministries and in richly gilt deluxe morocco for the King and the Crown Prince the Duc de Nemours second son of Louis-Philippe had succeeded his elder brother on his death in 1842 as Prince Royal. These binding for the Duc de Nemours are particularly successful for the handsome treatment to the wide spines.

His library was dispersed many years after his death in 1931-32.
