Surveys the history of theories of proportions of the human body from antiquity to the 16th c., distinguishing two traditions, Italo-Byzantine or pseudo-Varronian and Vitruvian, which fused in the Renaissance. Examines the theories of Alberti, Leonardo, and Dürer, as well as Leonardo's drawing of Vitruvian Man (Venice, Accademia); and focuses on developments in Lombardy in the late 16th c., especially theoretical studies of Bernardino Campi, Lomazzo, and Salmeggia; relates these to renewed interest in the manuscripts and drawings of Leonardo.
