BREMAN, Paul
Books on military architecture printed in Venice. An annotated catalogue. 't Goy-Houten, HES & DE GRAAF Publishers, 2002. Cloth. 35 illustrations. 418 pp
In the great days of Italian fortification literature - the century from Valle’s first Venetian edition in 1524 to the appearance of Tensini in 1624 - Venice accounted for roughly as many titles as the rest of Europe together. Books on fortification were a natural for the enterprising printer-publishers of this city-state, free from the constraints of small-minded princes and their paranoid insistence on ‘state secrets’.This annotated catalogue describes 350 books, published until the time when Venice ceased to be an independent state. It provides massive documentation taking into account the many ‘ghosts’ created by misprints or over-zealous bibliographers and gives full collations, extensive annotations and locations of copies of all entries.An index of printers and a ‘bibliographie raisonnée’ of the sources used, appear at the end. The thirty-five illustrations are chosen for their relevance to the subject and range from early bastion traces to emblematic portraits.

BREMAN, Paul | BURY, John
Writings on Architecture, civil and military, c. 1460 to 1640. A checklist of printed editions. 't Goy-Houten, HES & DE GRAAF Publishers, 2001. 24,5x15,5. Paperback. 122 pp
The list has about 280 author entries covering at least 1800 editions of more than 365 titles. Included are all architectural books known by the compilers that were written between 1460 and 1640 regardless of when they were first published. Dubious editions are identified, and "ghosts" avoided or described as much. Also included is a comprehensive bibliography of the 'De Architectura' of Vitruvius as an essential component of the period covered. The book is a quick-reference guide for all scholars, collectors, booksellers and librarians who have any dealings with or interest in early literature of architecture. "... the inclusion of modern facsimile reprints, modern critical editions and some relation monographs, makes it of real assistance not merely to rare book librarians and to antiquarian booksellers but to anyone seriously interested in the history of architecture" (Hugh Pagan, in: www.worldbookdealers.com/articles/br/br0000000384.asp).
