The first truly critical edition of the «Descriptio», which gathers in sixteen tables the alpha-numerical data relating to Alberti’s topographical survey of Rome of the late 1440s. Reducing Rome’s map to a series of dots suggests the impossibility of entrusting to traditional scribes the reproduction of complex images, with substantial epistemological implications. Accompanied by the first translation of Alberti’s text into English, and new versions in French, Italian and Russian.
