Gothic Architecture in Venice

“This book portrays Venice, as nearly as is possible, as it was in the first period of its splendour. It is the fruit of five years of research on an architecture that has never before been properly documented. Professor Arslan has studied Venice calle by calle, canal by canal and is now able to recreate or the reader the original aspect of the city. …

Detailed drawings support the analyses of the structures and their component parts, while a wealth of illustrations contribute to a true appreciation of this incomparable city. …”
