The purpose of this study is to consider the implication of the term “instaurare” that Alberti used as the title of
De re aedificatoria Liber Decimus. In this paper I examined the use of "instaurare" in literary works likely to have been read by Alberti, such as Vitruvius, Cicero, ‘
Vulgata Latina’, Isidore of Seville's ‘
Etymologiae’ and Flavio Biondo's ‘
Roma instaurata’. In particular, ‘
Vulgata Latina’ plays an essential role in this study. As a result, it is reasonable to suppose that "instaurare" is a biblical and Christian word, and the title of Liber Decimus “operum instauratio” does not merely mean "restoration of buildings".
