Alberti's De Pictura: Its Literary Structure and Purpose
Wright analyzes Alberti's De Pictura as a pedagogical manual rather than a scientific treatise, arguing that its literary structure follows the classical expository method of definition by analytical subdivision derived from Cicero, Plato, and Aristotle. While not directly about the HP, this article is relevant because Alberti has been proposed as a possible author of the Hypnerotomachia, and Wright's detailed analysis of Alberti's compositional method provides a stylistic benchmark against which such attributions can be tested.
