Today, we\u2019re wrapping up our celebration of the beginning of a new fiscal year with our last feature on one of the notable items that arrived here at the RBMSCL in the past year. Get ready for announcements of many more exciting acquisitions in 2011-2012! We’d like to thank Mark Zupan, the Libraries’ graphic designer, and everyone in the Digital Production Center<\/a> for their help with the images for these posts.<\/p>\n

Le Premier [Second] Volume des Plus Excellents Bastiments de France<\/a><\/em> by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, 1576 and 1579.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A major document of Renaissance Europe, Androuet du Cerceau’s survey of French buildings includes nearly 150 engraved plates.\u00a0 In two volumes, 36 palaces, castles, and other major buildings are beautifully illustrated by detailed plans and views.\u00a0 In some cases, the buildings no longer stand or are now vastly different than they appeared in 16th-century France.<\/p>\n

For more photos of our new acquisitions (and other materials from the RBMSCL\u2019s collections), check out the \u201cFrom the RBMSCL\u2019s Collections<\/a>\u201d set on the Duke University Libraries\u2019 Flickr photostream.<\/p>\n
