Abstract

The author explores the problem of Jean Bullant’s treatises and his theoretical heritage in the evolution of European architectural thought. Being one of the leading architects of the 16th century France, Jean Bullant still remains unknown in contrast to his splendid contemporaries such as Philibert Delorme and Pierre Lescot. Bullant’s bright talent and imaginative creativity enabled him to go much further than any of his fellows and to express his style in a more complex and ingenious Mannerist manner. During the period of disgrace, after the death of the king Henry II in the early 1560s, he publishes his three treatises in Paris: Recueil d’horlogiographie, contenant la description, fabrication et usage des horloges solaires (1561), Petit traicte de geometrie et d’horologiographie pratique (1562), and Reigle generalle d’architecture des cinq manieres de colonnes (1564). The research has been dedicated to each of the works and examines their connection to European humanists, such as Oronce Fine and Sebastian Munster, Italian influence by Alberti and Serlio, and French contemporaries’ pursuits.
