Abstract
As a key figure in English architectural history, Inigo Jones has already been the subject of considerable scholarship and publication. Christy Anderson’Sincerely yours, book, however, ably demonstrates the value of giving further consideration to well-studied and well-known figures. Whilst ostensibly a text about Inigo Jones, the underlying theme of the book is the evolution of an architect in seventeenth-century England, his persona, his training and his legacy. This is a fascinating notion, and one that reveals a wealth of information regarding the availability of mathematical and architectural texts and the pursuit of knowledge in the early seventeenth century.
