The second edition in English, first published in 1715, using the same plates. Both editions important in introducing Palladianism or the neo-classical architectural style in Britain. Andrea Palladio, transformed architecture not only during his lifetime, but his reinterpreted Classical stylings were imitated from the 18th century until today. Today Palladio's architecture is a model for building with the 3 rules of architecture attributed to Vitruvius-a building should be well-built, useful, & beautiful to look at. Palladio's Four Books of Architecture was widely translated, a work that quickly spread Palladio's ideas throughout Europe and into the New World of America. (Craven) Born Andrea Di Pietro della Gondola, he was later named Palladio after the Greek goddess of wisdom. The new name is said to have been given to him by an early employer, supporter, & mentor, the scholar & grammarian Gian Giorgio Trissino (1478-1550).
