Status Updates From Brunelleschi's Dome

Full of interesting tidbits

Informative and interesting so far.

throughout the middle ages, until 1400, every hour was divided into 4 10 minute sections, and each minute was divided into 40 moments.

"Nature has frequently planted astonishing genius in men of monstrously ugly appearance" hilarious and true!

I'm on Chapter 4 now, titled "An Ass & a Babbler"...come on, how could you not like an architectural book with this sense of humor?

I just started reading this and it makes me want to wander around the streets of Florence once more!
