Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome, Vol. 27 The text, then, is restricted to a discussion of the architecture. Many of the old problems presented by the palace have been solved or put in a new light as a result of new documents and observations. But just because of this more reliable information, in several crucial instances we now have uncertainty where before there seemed to be none. In addition to new questions of dating and authorship there are other unsolved problems. One of the most pressing is the precise manner in which the palace was used and lived in at the different stages of its existence. Another is the influence of such specific practical demands upon its planning. The latter calls for a detailed inves'tigation of many palaces, and it is to be hoped that monographs such as this will eventually make such a study possible.
