For instance, bout this book we have not only countless editions in Italian (just to name a few of them: Bartolomeo
Carampello, 1581. Bartolomeo Carampello, 1601. Bartolomeo Carampello, 1616. Marc Antonio
Brogiollo, 1642. Domenico Lovisa, 1711. Francesco Muttoni, 1740. Giovanni Battista Cipriani, 1803. Aniano Balzafiori,
1807. Giovan Battista Berti, 1818. Marco Biraghi, 1992. Marco Biraghi, 2008) but also a
large number of English translations such as that by Inigo Jones, 1616. Godfrey Richards, 1663. Godfrey Richards, 1670. Nicolas Du
Bois, 1721. Giacomo Leoni, 1715. George Jameson, 1765. Batty Langley, 1767. William Halfpenny, 1751. Guido Beltramini, 2002.
Adolf Placzek, 2013. Therefore, in the case of English
speaking scholars we can observe, especially for the editions published at the end of the nineteenth century, that greater freedom
in favour of a more flexible interpretation is applied if compared to the Italian speaking
scholars who are usually more interested in submitting the whole content of the books with the result of a more rigid and literal result.
Other elements of difficulties are partly related to the fact that in the English translations the translators do not indicate the edition or
editions consulted for their translations.
