	The Alberti Cipher
		Alberti, who is also known for his work in architecture, painting and writing, particularly his insights into perspective influenced subsequent painters of his era, but he is most widely recognized as the father of Western Cryptology.
		Interestingly, Alberti's studies involving cryptology were only a passing interest, at the suggestion of his friend, and secretary to the pope, Dato, Alberti decided to investigate encryption, and eventually published a book on the subject, despite its lack of relevance to his architecture and painting.
		Alberti's 20 character Latin alphabet can be seen around the outer ring of the discs, the four numbers at the end being, again, used in reference to a codebook containing preselected phrases.

		The original drawings of Alberti are unknown, but Italian architect Antonio Labacco left a drawing of the main proportions of the church, copied supposedly from another drawing or a model, but it is considered as the description closest to the original intention.

	Leon Battista Alberti
		Alberti is an anomaly: he is a puzzling figure in the Renaissance period, because he left very few works behind.
		Alberti sensed that a lot of the "ancient works" had been lost: he had studied and read a lot, so he knew the references to the old works.
		Alberti recognized that there was a group of excellent artists and he named them.

	Washingtonpost.com: Leon Battista Alberti: Master Builder of the Italian Renaissance
		Alberti, in short, mastered all the traditional arts of the medieval courtier and all the new ones of the Renaissance intellectual.
		Alberti's achievement—which was not to invent this crucial form of applied geometry, but to give its principles coherent written form for the first time—loomed large, even central, in the story of the Renaissance.
		Alberti, he argued, devised a visual language for modern architecture in the classical style—a lexicon of ancient forms, like the triumphal arch and the dome, whose proportions and shapes were determined by rigorous mathematical ratios like those that underlay musical harmony.

	Art Bulletin, The: On Alberti's "sign": vision and composition in quattrocento painting - Leon Battista Alberti's ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In his view, Alberti's discussion of composition is predicated on a belief that painting and writing have "cognate styles of organization." Accordingly, he maintains that historians "can make out a polarization of styles common to both painting and writing" when they apply Alberti's categories to early quattrocento art.
		Alberti's praise for Masaccio stands in sharp contrast to the negative allusions to contemporary painting scattered throughout the commentary (for example, 1.12; II.39, 46; III.56).
		Alberti praises such characteristic features of Masaccio's art as the expressive representation of bodily movement (II.36, 41-42), the modest variety in the dress, poses, ages, and features of the figures (II.38-40), and the clear presentation of three-dimensional form through tonal modeling (II.46-47).

		According to Burckhardt, Alberti was both genius and pin-up - he could ride the wildest horses and jump from a standing start to the height of the man standing next to him.
		Above all Alberti is celebrated for his magnificent buildings - closely modelled on the ruins of antiquity, and on classical writings such as Vitruvius's - for some of the most powerful families in Italy, the Malatesta despots in Rimini, the military Gonzagas in Mantua, and the Rucellai millionaires in Florence.
		Alberti is no longer an isolated genius, but robustly the product of his times - a man whose alert intelligence and quick wit made the most sustained use of the resources of antiquity and the ruins of Rome, to which the new movement later dubbed 'humanism' gave him access.

		Alberti seems to have collaborated with him in astronomy rather than geography, but the two sciences were closely bound at the time (and bound to perspective) by the conceptions and methods of geometric mapping rediscovered in the writings of the ancient astronomer and geographer Ptolemy.
		Although it is difficult to trace the historical connections, the methods of surveying and mapping and the instruments described by Alberti are precisely those that were responsible for the new scientific accuracy of the depictions of towns and land areas that date from the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
		Alberti was in the vanguard of the cultural life of early Renaissance Italy.

	Illustrious People
		Alberti used the Ciceronian division between utility and ornament as the framework for his view of architecture, where beauty is identified with harmony (concinnitas); and derived partly from fixed numerical proportions based on the intervals of music.
		Equally fundamental is the firm socio-political basis Alberti gives to architecture, seen as responsive to the nature of different societies and their inhabitants: within a hierarehy of building types, culminating in churches, the emphasis is on appropriateness and variety of solution.
		Alberti's treatise is packed with technical guidance, and he should not be seen as an architectural dilettante: when forced to design by correspondence, he nevertheless controlled the smallest details of design and construction.

		Alberti liked to dream up machines of his own; he later told the pope he could devise a crane that would hold up the roof of old St. Peter's while the walls underneath it were rebuilt.
		Alberti had kept this last text under wraps in the Rome of Pope Nicholas V, afraid perhaps that the corrosive irony of its satire on men in power might compromise his position in the curia.

	Poetry

		Alberti was not initially a political poet, but eventually devoted himself completely to this cause, even reciting poems to Republic troops to improve their morale.

	Notebook
		Although the art Alberti advocates is based on training acquired under a master and apprentice system, it gives the artist and his art the means of breaking away from such a system to attain the individualism familiar since the High Renaissance.
		Alberti's overstatements and his sharp criticism of former practice reflect the tensions of his time, yet he never loses his assurance of final victory or his optimism for the future.
		Alberti's architecture need not be discussed here, yet his approach to theory and practice is as typical in the treatise on architecture as it is in any of his other works on the arts.

	Leon Battista Alberti and the Art of Building from the book Nexus II: Architecture and Mathematics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Alberti strenuously defended the use of models; he was the first after Vitruvius to list their advantages (as did Baldinucci) while, however, specifically excluding their use as instruments for determining the strength of a structure or any of its parts.
		Alberti expressed the concept that the design is fixed in the mind that elaborates it; its form is invariable because it is independent from the material in which it is to be realized.
		On the other hand, it is very probable that Alberti was codifying a design practice used in medieval workshops where models, due to their particular architectonic forms, were used to resolve problems of stability, if not of strength.

	Art Bulletin, The: Leon Battista Alberti: Master Builder of the Italian Renaissance - Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Although his description of Alberti as a uomo universale set up a topos for the field, it is Burckhardt's other defining term for him-- Gewaltmensch (which he used as a parallel concept in the arts and letters to the Gewaltherrscher he identified in the political domain)-- that may be even more revealing.
		(2) Beyond his encyclopedic scholarly accomplishments, it was Alberti's powerful personality, as Burckhardt inferred from the Vita anonima, that attracted him and allowed him to define the Renaissance as a unique cultural moment that resulted from a marriage between power and art, ruthless politics and learning, all embodied in a few towering personalities.
		Within these categories Alberti's oeuvre has been broken down further such that even the art theorist, the architect, and the architectural treatise writer tend to be contained in separate, often noncommunicating scholarly vessels.
