Vitruvius and Later Roman Building Manuals - Plommer, Hugh

There is an introductory account of the relationship between Vitruvius and the world of Faventinus and Palladius, both of whom made great use of Vitruvian material, Palladius apparently deriving it exclusively from Faventinus. Both adapted it and added to it in the light of the practical concerns of their own day and technical developments not available to Vitruvius.
