The British Architectural Library has acquired the series of 16th century pen and ink drawings known as the Codex Stosch. The 50 drawings are by a member of Raphael’s circle, Giovanni Battista da Sangallo (1496-1548) and depict 16 ancient buildings in and near Rome. Caroline Lewis has written an informative article on the Codex for 24hourmuseum:
