	Jones’s very considerable capacity as a draughtsman at once marks him off from all his English contemporaries … It is not simply the ability to draw which is significant, but the state of mind, the sense of control of which that ability is the outward sign. It represents, indeed, a revolution in architectural vision, and when we meet with Inigo Jones’s earliest surviving sketches … we know that we have finally crossed the threshold from the medieval to the modern.		Jones’s very considerable capacity as a draughtsman at once marks him off from all his English contemporaries … It is not simply the ability to draw which is significant, but the state of mind, the sense of control of which that ability is the outward sign.

	A tantalising glimpse into Jones’s practical technique of study whilst on his European travels is to be found in a surviving copy of Palladio’s Quattro Libri, which Jones took with him on his travels, and which is preserved at Worcester College, Oxford. This volume is filled with copious notes in Jones’s own hand, which seem to indicate that his technique was to take his copy of Palladio to the actual classical remains which Palladio analysed – and there to make meticulous comparisons between text and building, so as to gain an even greater insight into the methods and styles of the classical builders themselves. As Summerson points out, ‘It is more than doubtful if any Englishman had attempted this method of study before, or paid any really close attention to antique buildings or antique sculpture’ (Summerson, p. 114		A tantalising glimpse into Jones’s practical technique of study whilst on his European travels is to be found in a surviving copy of Palladio’s Quattro Libri, which Jones took with him on his travels, and which is preserved at Worcester College, Oxford.
