Excerpt from Vitruvius and the Greek Stage, Vol. 1 In the earliest theatre there was no proscenium and no stage for actors. Actors and chorus were both in the orchestra and on the same level. Their relations were not changed on the introduction of the scena-buildings and the proscenium. The decorated proscenium was simply the house front before which the action of the piece was laid. Entrances from the house were made through the doors in the proscenium; from else where, both by actors and chorus, through the tripod. In the centre of the orchestra was the thymele, consisting of both Bones and 313m. The 317114 could be mounted by actors when necessary. The top of the proscenium was used only as the roof of the house. In further support, D6rpfeld shows that the top of the proscenium could not have been a stage for actors, first, because of its narrowness, ' and secondly, because of its height above the orchestra.' Not the slightest evidence can be drawn from the ruins that steps ever existed leading from the orchestra to the top of the proscenium. Such steps would have marred the architectural effect of the proscenium front, would have rendered useless a large portion of the orchestra, and above all would not have allowed that free intermingling of actors and chorus which the dramas demand.

In about 25 B.C. the Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio presented to the emperor Augustus ten scrolls that contained everything he knew about architecture. Synthesizing his studies of earlier Greek writings as well as lessons drawn from his own design career, the Ten Books on Architecture discussed architectural practice and education; building materials; the correct proportions and elements of the Ionic, Doric, and Corinthian; the design of temples, public buildings, and private houses; and engineering and military planning. More than two thousand years later his masterwork stands as both the most comprehensive architectural text of antiquity and one of the most important design treatises ever written. Just as Vitruvius set out to catalog the rules and ideals of ancient Greek architecture, Thomas Gordon Smith in Vitruvius on Architecture presents the rules and ideals of Vitruvius himself. This volume contains the five books most relevant to contemporary architecture along with a wealth of visual material: photographs of ancient structures from Greece, Italy, and Turkey; related sculptures, frescoes, and reliefs; hypothetical re-creations of Vitruvius's now-lost illustrations; and a series of exquisitely rendered watercolor plates based on his descriptions. Vitruvius on Architecture is an exceptional accomplishment: a study as relevant to the present as Vitruvius's was to his own day and to architecture since.

2022 Reprint of the 1914 Edition. Includes illustrations. Exact facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Translated by Morris Hicky Morgan; with illustrations and original designs prepared under the direction of Herbert Langford Warren. Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, a Roman architect and engineer flourishing in the first century B.C., was the author of the oldest and most influential work on architecture in existence. For hundreds of years, the specific instructions he gave in his Ten Books on Architecture were followed faithfully, and major buildings in all parts of the world reveal the widespread influence of his precepts. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, he was "the chief authority studied by architects, and in every point his precepts were accepted as final. Bramante, Michelangelo, Palladio, Vignola, and earlier were careful students of the work of Vitruvius." His book is thus one of those rare works that have been supremely important in the creation of the greatest art masterpieces. Vitruvius describes the classic principles of symmetry, harmony, and proportion in architecture; the design of the treasury, prison, senate house, baths, forum, and temples; the construction of the theater: its site, foundations, and acoustics; the proper style and proportion for private dwellings; the differences between the Ionic, Doric, and Corinthian styles; methods of giving durability and beauty to polished finishings; and many other topics. It is a direct, authoritative, and detailed introduction to the ancients' methods of construction, the materials of the architect, and the prevailing aesthetic beliefs of the times; but it is also a work of art. Vitruvius wrote in such a fascinating manner, and digressed from his subject so often (as, for instance, when he wrote about the winds, Archimedes in his bath, and why authors should receive awards and honors at least as often as athletes), that his book has had a continuing appeal to the general reader for many centuries. Besides being an instructive treatise on nearly everything connected with Roman and Greek architecture, it is an entertaining description of some aspects of the life and beliefs of the times. This edition is the standard English translation, prepared over a period of several years by Professor M. H. Morgan of Harvard University.

Excerpt from The Civil Architecture of Vitruvius: Comprising Those Books of the Author Which Relate to the Public and Private Edifices of the Ancients It seems impossible that we should contemplate any remains of Grecian taste and science, of whatever description they may be, without, at the same time, adverting to other monuments of other arts, and connecting them in the mind with those which are immediately before us. In vain would we believe that we admire them as if they stood insulated and alone, While association is softening every defect, and enhancing every beauty, - while memory is retracing the most affecting scenes, - or while fancy is grouping the most interesting objects. We can scarcely deny, then, that the pleasure which is derived from surveying the ancient models of Grecian architecture is heightened by ideas connected with learning, with science, and with art; accompanied, as they still must be, by all the'nameless charms which imagination combines with the history of the Greeks, and which it throws over all their productions. It is probable, nevertheless, that their buildings possess certain qualities which affect us independently of all these associations, ' and which, even without them, fail not to produce'sentiments of admiration, and feelings of delight.
