Traicte Des Cinq D’Architecture, Palladio. Printed 1645, by Langlois. Altogether 2 title-pages and 77 full-page plates. First edition of the first appearance of any of Palladio’s work published in France and the first translation into the French language of any of his work. Traicté des cinq ordres d’Architecture is the result of the “collaboration” of three leading architects: Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), the translator/editor Pierre Le Muet (1591-1669), military architect for the Cardinal Richelieu before becoming a leading architect of Parisian townhouses; and Jean Marot, architect and famous engraver of architectural subjects, as illustrator who provided the engravings for this book. The first part of Traicté des cinq ordres d’architecture is Le Muet’s translation of Book I of Palladio’s Quattro Libri d’Architectura, first published at Venice in 1570. The main importance of this translation is that it became a chief source of information on Palladio’s theory not only in France, but also in England until the appearance of Campbell’s English edition of Palladio’s Book I in 1729. The second part of this work, with its own title-page and frontispiece, is Le Muet’s treatise, L’Art de bien batir, illustrated with 42 plates of doorways, stairs, and fireplaces.
