He was not related to Jacques-François Blondel.〕 was a soldier, engineer of fortifications, diplomat, civil engineer and military architect, called "the Great Blondel", to distinguish him in a dynasty of French architects.〔For example, see ''L'Intermédiaire des chercheurs et curieux'', (vol. 54 (1906), column 126 ).〕 He is remembered for his ''Cours d'architecture'' which remained a central text for over a century. His precepts placed him in opposition with Claude Perrault in the larger culture war known under the heading ''Querelle des anciens et des modernes''. If François Blondel was not the most highly reputed among the ''académiciens'' of his day, his were the writings that most generally circulated among the general public, the ''Cours de Mathématiques'', the ''Art de jetter les Bombes'', the ''Nouvelle manière de fortifier les places'' and, above all his '' Cours d'Architecture''. ==Early life== Born Nicolas-François Blondel at Ribemont in the Picardy region of France, he was baptized on 15 June 1618. His father was François-Guillaume Blondel, who studied law in Toulouse and bought the position of ''avocat du roi'' in Ribemont after receiving his degree in 1624. Nicolas-François' mother was Marie de Louen, whose family belonged to the local nobility. Although his father François-Guillaume was not born a nobleman, he was able to purchase (or inherit via his wife's relations) two close-by ''seigneuries'', Gaillardon in 1620 and Les Croisettes before 1635, and was the mayor of Ribemont several times in the 1630s and 1640s.〔Gerbino 2010, p. 10.〕 Nicolas-François was well educated in languages as a youth, and participated for a time in the Thirty Years' War. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「François Blondel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
