Abstract

The paper situates the Historical Dictionary of Architecture by Quatremère de Quincy (1832) in the ambit of French tradition of dictionaries and encyclopedias and presents the complete and unpublished translation in Portuguese of the entry Architecture from the original 1832 text. The definition of Architecture in Quatremère de Quincy is linked to the debates about the origin of Architecture, to the foundation of a proper disciplinary field and to the delineation of preceptives which defines the role of the conventions and the classical tradition.
