$a Besides the four books mentioned in the title, the publication includes a fifth book, which has the title, 'Divers Vases Antiques, Ægyptiens, Grecs, Romains, & Modernes: avec quelques uns de l'invention de l'Auteur'. A publication-date of 1685 is carried by the third plate in the fifth book. Texts and captions are printed in both French and German; the bulk of the text is in the first book. This essay on the history of architecture may be seen as part of a wave of interest in non-European civilisations that arose in Europe in the latter part of the seventeenth century, and as part of the speculation as to whether they might have a common origin, perhaps in the Mosaic traditions of the Hebrew Bible. The author begins with Solomon's temple at Jerusalem and includes not only ancient Greek and Roman, but also ancient British, Romanesque, Arab, Turkish, Persian, Chinese, Japanese and Siamese structures (notably omitting Gothic and Indian architecture). Only 160 copies were printed of this first edition, according to the Mercure de France of May 1724. The second edition appeared in 1725 - which was translated into English in 1730 by T. Lediard under the title, A plan of civil and historical architecture. Although the scope of Fischer's essay was wide, his plates retain a spectacular and exotic character. A taste for exotic structures became widespread in Europe during the eighteenth century. In Britain Chambers's buildings at Kew are perhaps the best-known examples, but these may have been stimulated more by his own visits to China than by Fischer's designs. It has been suggested that James Wyatt's Pantheon in London may have owed something to the plan of the cathedral of St. Sophia printed in Fischer's book. |
