ジャンノッツォ・マネッティの『世俗と教皇庁の式典について』における建築的描写について

Abstract

Giannozzo Manetti (1396-1459) is a famous humanist in an intellectual circle of pope Eugenius IV and Nicholas V. De Secularibus et Pontificalibus Pompis is a detailed description of the consecration of Florence Cathedral in 1436. This text has caught the distinctive features of architectural ekphrases of the fiftteenth century in Italy. I regarded Giannozzo Manetti as an “architect” in the Early Renaissance. Based on my analysis about De Secularibus et Pontificalibus Pompis, it is reasonable to suppose that Giannozzo Manetti is a rival of Alberti in the practice of architecture.
