103. Preti, Francesco Maria.
Elementi di architettura. Venice, 1780.
Not now owned by the University.
Francesco Maria Preti (1701-74), born at Castelfranco, was an architect,
mathematician, and tract writer.
Sowerby describes the Elementi di architettura as a quarto of thirtyfive
leaves with four engraved plates, all folding, and gives the above
date for its first edition. Kimball (p. 99) says the book entered Jefferson's
library between 1785 and 1789.
Jefferson sold his copy to Congress. It was not ordered for the University.
