v1.c6.s32.849

It is very interesting to note that Vitruvius describes the qualifications of architects in exactly the same way as given in the Mānasāra (and the other records quoted above). In both the treatises this topic is discussed at the beginning and in fact in the same place, the second chapter, which is preceded by a table of contents in the Mānasāra, and an introduction in Vitruvius.
