Description:

The philosophies of Athanasius Kircher, Nicolas Cusanus, and other Neo-Platonists are analyzed in this study to show their influence on the Baroque architecture of Borromini. Hendrix (architectural history, Roger Williams U., Rhode Island) then seeks to reconstruct a theory of Borromini's architecture from the corpus of his architectural plans. Annotation c.
