Abstract
This study contributes to the knowledge of architectural representation and the theory of architecture in Spain during the 17th century through the examination of a littleknown document that is highly important in the context of Spanish treatises of the 17th century: the manuscript “Artes Exçelençias dela Perspectiba, 1688”. (“The excellent arts of perspective, 1688”). The importance of this document lies in its being a novel text of a pedagogical nature that served as a connecting link between geometrical trends in perspective in northern Europe in the 17th century and the traditions of Hispanic culture. © 2014, Kim Williams Books, Turin.
