The Mathematical Works of Leon Battista Alberti

Leon Battista Alberti was an outstanding polymath of the fifteenth century, alongside Piero della Francesca and before Leonardo da Vinci. While his contributions to architecture and the visual arts are well known and available in good English editions, and much of his literary and social writings are also available in English, his mathematical works are not well represented in readily available, accessible English editions have remained accessible only to specialists. The four treatises included here – Ludi matematici, De Componendis Cifris, Elementi di pittura and De lunularum quadratura – are extremely valuable in rounding out the portrait of this multitalented thinker. The treatises are presented in modern English translations, with commentary that is intended to make evident the depths of Alberti’s knowledge as well as address the treatises’ mathematical, historical and cultural context, their classical Greek roots, and their relationship to later works by Renaissance thinkers.

Comentários à arte edificatória de Leon Battista Alberti

Leon Battista Alberti (Génova, 1404 - Roma, 1472), considerado pelos seus contemporâneos como tendo uma criatividade incomensurável pelo cultivo dos mais diversos saberes disciplinares e dos mais variados conhecimentos literá­rios, por mais indecifráveis e improváveis que fossem, é o autor do tratado De re aedificatoria, publicado em 1485, que abriu as portas da modernidade em arquitectura, pela forma inovadora como sistematizou, com inteligibilidade e eloquência, a arte edificatória. Nestes Comentários que agora se apresentam procura-se estabelecer o sentido das inerentes relações entre este tratado, a obra construída e a escrita deste au­tor do séc. XV, bem como da sua recepção, de forma a se entender a surpreeen­dente atualidade da sua obra com o objectivo de sugerir pistas que conduzam, na contemporaneidade, à construção do saber edificatório.
