[body of serious] literature on architecture

I'm sure of the meaning, but there might be a better way to say it. It's the body of literature in the intellectual sense -- the treatises and serious publications.

If the text is referring exclusively to the sixteenth century, then it's likely to be "treatises," which was the style of writing at the time.

Tratadística es una disciplina que tiene que ver con escribir tratados, ensayos, etc. De allí la acepción inglesa "essayistic", y también "essayism", aunque ésta no se aplica tanto en este contexto.
