1854pp. [x], 186. + Fourteen double-page folding lithographed plates. 12mo. Original blind-stamped cloth binding, with a gold window arch on the front board. Some slight chipping at binding extremities. First published in 1849, this important essay on architecture helped establish the Victorian taste for Gothic design. According to Ruskin, the leading principles of architecture are the "lamps" of Sacrifice, Truth, Power, Beauty, Life, Memory, and Obedience. He found the noblest style of architecture to be Gothic, but in time medieval architecture lost its power. He felt that this loss of vitality was the result of the spiritual decline of Christianity during the Renaissance. The essay greatly influenced Victorian art and design and flavored the tastes of generations. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W138

AD 536-582/594) , of Myrina, an Aeolian city in western Asia Minor, was a Greek poet and the historian who is a principal source for that part of the reign of Justinian I covered in his history. He studied law at Alexandria, returned to Constantinople in 554 to finish his training and practised as an advocate (scholasticus) in the courts. Literature, however, was his favourite pursuit. He wrote a number of short love-poems in epic metre, called Daphniaca. He also put together an anthology of epigrams by earlier and contemporary poets and himself, under the title of a Cycle of New Epigrams. Agathias re-edited the Greek Anthology, which preserves about a hundred of his epigrams, showing considerable taste and elegance. He also wrote marginal notes on the Periegetes of Pausanias. After the death of Justinian (565) , some of Agathias's friends persuaded him to write the history of his own times. This work in five books, On the Reign of Justinian, continues the history of Procopius, whose style it imitates, and is the chief authority for the period 552-558. It deals chiefly with the struggles of the Byzantine army, under the command of the eunuch Narses, against the Goths, Vandals, Franks and Persians.

Taylor, at the Architectural Library." original boards, rubbed, upper cover detached, uncut. 'Whittington's lucid, fresh and readable book is remarkable as the first history of French mediaeval architecture and also as the first statement that the Gothic was invented in France in the first half of the twelfth century. Whittington is important as perhaps the earliest example of a recognisably modern architectural historian conducting a detached and scholarly investigation into a past style in a country other than his own.' - D. Watkin, The Rise of Architectural History, 1983, pp. 57-58.
