About this book
Character of Renaissance Architecture is a book by Charles Herbert Moore. The preface says the author has endeavoured to set forth the true character of the architecture of the Renaissance and to reduce mere descriptions of buildings to a minimum. The preface adds that graphic illustrations are given enough to make the discussions clear.
The text describes the court of the Cancelleria, which has an arcade of two vaulted stories. A discussion of domes says that one dome has thrusts that are entirely unbuttressed, but that it is probably bound with chains. The index lists, among others, Aachen, abutments, and the dome of Florence cathedral.
