The French 17th century and the Idea dell'Architectura Universale (1615) of Vicenzo Scamozzi.
Over the years and up until the present time, the influence of Vignole and of Palladio in France in 17th century has been extensively treated. While Vicenzo Scamozzi has also provoked interest, this has been to a lesser extent, even though the "Idea dell'Architectura Universale", which appeared in 1615, rapidly stimulated theoritical debates and its orders were known and diffused before the "Parallèle" of Fréart de Chambray (1650). It is in fact unknown that the "Scamozzian" forms were circulated precociously thanks to the booklet engraved in 1646 by Jean Boisseau, which was thus the first adaptation of the books III and VI of Scamozzi. Despite its indigestible encyclopedic tendency, the "Idea" nourished the work of French theoreticians and Academicians for more than a half century. Its Ionic order inspired architects from Le Pautre to Hardouin-Mansart.
