395The Munich Antiquarium Ducale in Mantua [Fig. 8.7]. This was built between 1536 and 1539 after de- signs by Giulio Romano, in order to display a part of the Gonzaga collection of antique sculpture. The loggia had been carefully documented, including the placement of the ‘marbles’ which gave it its name, in the drawings Strada had commissioned from Ippolito Andreasi only the year before [Fig. 8.8].25 Obvious library buildings that may have influenced the conception of the Munich Antiquarium are Michelangelo’s Biblioteca Laurenziana in Florence (1525–1571) [Fig. 8.9–8.10] and Sansovino’s Biblioteca Marciana in Venice (1537–1553) [Fig. 8.11–8.12]: both long rectangular buildings of three bays wide and up to 20 bays long. As has first been noted by Norbert Lieb, however, there was a very recent ex- ample quite close by: this was the new building for the Stadtbibliothek, the town library of Augsburg that had been founded in 1537. Designed by the Augsburg master-mason Bernhard Zwitzel, this freestanding construction was raised in 1562–1563 next to the former Carmelite monastery of St Anne.26 [Fig. 8.13] This 25 Cf. below, Ch. 13.8.2. 26 Lieb 1980 and Stierhof 1980 recognized the parallel and are cited by Seelig 1987, p. 27. The Augsburg Stadtbibliothek was demolished in 1894, after the completion of a new library building; a brief history, ‘Geschichte der Staatsbibliothek und Stadtbibliothek Augsburg – Von der Gründing bis zur Säkularisation’, on the website Augsburgwiki, https://www .augsburgwiki.de/index.php/AugsburgWiki/DieStabiAugsburgVonDerGruendung- BisZurSaekularisation,. cons. 12-10-2018.
