ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES CONCERNING THE PUBLICATION OF C.-N. LEDOUX'S "L'ARCHITECTURE CONSIDEREE SOUS LE RAPPORT DE L'ART, DES M(EURS ET DE LA LEGISLATION" AND ITS SECOND EDITION

Abstract

In this paper, I chiefly describe the details about the publication of the voluminous book entitled "L'Architecture consideree sous le rapport de 1'art, des moeurs et de la legislation" (Paris, 1804) written by Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806), who is one of the visionary architects in the 18th century France. First, I elucidate the circumstances around Ledoux concerning the publication of the book until 1804. Second, I treat of the Daniel Ramee's second edition of this book (1847).
