Quodsi ita est, uti dissimiles regiones ab inclinationibus caeli variis generibus sint comparatae, ut etiam naturae gentium disparibus animis et corporum figuris qualitatibusque nascerentur, non dubitemus aedificiorum quoque rationes ad nationum gentiumque proprietates apte distribuere, cum habeamus ab ipsa rerum natura sollertem et expeditam monstrationem.
But if regions differing in climate are assigned to different nations so that the natures of peoples that arise, should vary in mind, and in shape and quality of body, we shall not hesitate to arrange the methods of our buildings also, to suit the characters of nations and peoples, since from Nature herself we have skilled and ready guidance.
