Introduction
1 Heinrich Wölffl in, Renaissance and Baroque, trans. Kathrin
Simon (London: Collins, 1964), xi. Originally as Renaissance
und Barock: Eine Untersuchung über Wesen und Entstehung
des Barockstils in Italien (Munich: T. Ackerman, 1888).
2 The Getty Research Institute (Los Angeles), the Center for
Advanced Studies in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery
(Washington, DC), the Canadian Center for Architecture
(Montreal), the Sterling and Francine Clark Institute (Williams-
town, Mass.) and the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art
(Paris) are among the major research institutions hosting
programmes in the history of art and architecture, and
which publish the work of their researchers. The Bibliotheca
Hertziana in Rome is a key library for the study of architec-
tural history as are those of the Centro Internazionale di Studi
di Architettura (CISA) ‘Andrea Palladio’ at Vicenza; the Villa
I Tatti of Harvard University, near Florence; the Centre
d’Études Supérieures de la Renaissance at Tours; the Stiftung
Bibliothek Werner Oechslin in Einsiedeln; the Warburg
Institute at London; and a number of other signifi cant univer-
sity collections. This list is hardly complete, but indicates
the range of settings for scholarly research in the history of
architecture.
