In the mid-18th century, Robert Wood traveled to Syria to study the Roman ruins, which because of the arid climate, were exceptionally preserved. Today’s #rarebookfriday shows some images of Robert Wood’s THE RUINS OF PALMYRA, 1753, which is one of our recent acquisitions to the #RRBR This work fits into our collection of “Roman architecture outside of Rome.” Sadly, some of these ruins were destroyed by the Islamic State. #romeoutsideofrome #ruins #architecture #romanruins

Same text, different printings. Notice the difference in the decorated initials? Page 15 of the first book of Palladio's I QUATTRO LIBRI, 1581 (left) and 1570 (right). Stop in and compare the volumes for yourself. #rarebookfriday #rrbr #palladio #11yearsapart #16thcentury
