1 Examples: on the opus reticulatum of the Rucellai Palace (p. 71), the date of the Massimi Palace (p. 154), the angular metope of the Libreria (p. 190).

2 The churches of Coducci are interestedly studied in chapter four (palace design …). One finds nothing on the Madonna of the Miracles at Brescia and other typical sanctuaries. It is difficult to qualify the Madonna of the Calcinaio as a ‘small church’ (p. 87). The observation on the Carthusian monastery of Pavia ‘designed about 1481’ (p. 95) should be modified slightly after the study by Giampero Borlini in The Art Bulletin, December 1963, pp. 323-336. One can no longer say of Serlio and his stay in France: ‘Almost nothing survives of his work there’; it has now been established that Ancy le Franc is entirely his work.
