Summary:

The first truly critical edition of the"Descriptio," which gathers in sixteen tables the alpha-numerical data relating to Alberti's topographical survey of Rome of the late 1440s. Reducing Rome's map to a series of dots suggests the impossibility of entrusting to traditional scribes the reproduction of complex images, with substantial epistemological implications.
