- Summary:
- The material here first appeared in his 2001 PhD dissertation, says Temple (architecture, U. of Lincoln, England), then again as a series of research papers in various cities as he tested his ideas and gauged responses from other academics. Here he regroups the tempered and battle hardened ideas back into a unified treatise. He shows how the proposals for new ceremonial streets, bridges, public squares, and building during the pontificate of Julius II (1503-13) were motivated by a desire to remap and so transform the topography of the ancient and medieval city. This, he argues, was part of a larger scheme by humanists and artists in the papal court to promote Rome as another Jerusalem and a renewed imperial city.
