Sound collected volume in all with good plates. <br/><br/>In 1721 Augsburg based Jeremias Wolff published a collection of tracts from the work known collectively as Verneuerte Goldmann a series of commentaries made by Leonhard Christoph Sturm on the works of Nicolaus Goldmann a professor of mathematics and architecture at Leiden University. Sturm was a German author architecture theorist builder and theologian. He published several architectural treatises in his lifetime before beginning to edit and comment on master architect Goldmanns groundbreaking theoretical works. Wolff attempted to gather Sturms edits together posthumously; Sturm died about 4 years into the project and it took another 3 years to complete. Although the final make-up of the collection is variable it has been said that no two copies have been found to be exactly the same this copy is an impressive compilation in content and illustration. It is very likely these tracts on civil architecture have been around each other for quite some time they may have been intended to be bound in several volumes as sometimes found. As mathematicians Goldmann and Sturm go through great lengths for accuracy. Their mode of thought is analytical even if their procedure is a bit eclectic. The goal remains the same throughout to offer a comprehensive and informative look at architectural theories across the ages. Sturm stresses the constructive rationality in architecture which he believes finds its roots in the engineering of the Temple of Solomon. At the core both authors sought to open up the possibility of a new and indeed German architectural order. These tracts concern town houses public buildings including schools and hospitals gardens and churches and the elaborate Baroque engravings are of façades instruments and aerial views. Wolff was one of the best engravers of his time active in Augsburg until his death in 1724. Peter Detleffsen for Jeremias Wolff hardcover books
