Guillaume du Bellay which Strada intended to add to his planned edition of
Serlio’s Castrametatio.8 Likewise I suspect that some of the material by Serlio’s
French colleague and rival, Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, which is preserved
in the Munich Staatsbibliothek, was supplied by Strada to his patron, Hans
Jakob Fugger, together with the Munich versions of the Sesto Libro and the Cas-
trametatio. Strada could have obtained these together with Serlio’s effects, or
have acquired them independently during his stay in France.9
Among the drawings Strada acquired from the heirs of Perino and Giulio
the proportion between figure-drawings and architectural and decorative
designs will have been more even. Strada claimed that, in addition to their
own work, the collections of both Perino and Giulio included many drawings
by Raphael, whose pupils and assistants they had been. The tale of Raphael’s
drawings after his death has been summarized by Konrad Oberhuber in his
preface to the ninth volume of the Corpus of Raphael’s drawings of 1972.10
Vasari states that the drawings left at Raphael’s death were divided between
two of his collaborators, Giulio Romano and Giovan Francesco Penni. It is not
known what happened to Penni’s share when he died, but it is likely that part
or all of it ended up with his one-time partner Perino, who had married his
sister Catharina. This implies that by means of his purchases from Perino’s and
Giulio’s heirs Strada reunited the greater portion of the drawings of Raphael’s
later period, the years 1511–1520 covered by Oberhuber’s volume of the Corpus.
At a later date Strada in fact made special mention both of Raphael’s original
drawings for the Vatican Stanze, and of Giulio’s designs for the double frieze
in the Camera degli Stucchi in the Palazzo del Te that were among his pos-
sessions.11 The presence in Munich of the manuscript translation of Vitruvius,
made on behalf of Raphael by his humanist friend Fabio Calvo, is likewise best
explained by the supposition that Strada supplied it to Fugger or to Duke Al-
brecht, having acquired it with Perino’s or Giulio’s Nachlass.12 The mere fact

9 Various volumes including drawings and prints in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in
Munich are now accessible through the website of Codicon, such as Cod. Icon. 191, attrib-
uted to Du Cerceau, and Cod. Icon. 195, attributed to Jean de Chenevières; these give an
impression of the type of material Strada acquired.

11 Index sive catalogus, Appendix D, nrs. 43 and 14. Many of Giulio’s original designs are now
in the Louvre; the complete set in the Albertina doubtless is the copy Strada prepared or
commissioned for the engraver (cf. below, Ch. 13.7.3).

it had been acquired in 1770 by Elector Carl Theodor with Piero Vettori’s library (Fon-
tana/Morachiello 1975, pp. 15 ff. ) is contradicted by its presence among the architectural
