This paper aims to find out the possibilities of the study on the architect and theorist Vincenzo Scamozzi in the 16th century Italy, through various evaluations of his book "L'Idea della Architettura Universale". The public did not pay much attencion to Scamozzi, because he was regarded as a second-class architect. The main reason behind such an opinion was that his book was very difficult to comprehend. In this paper, we deduce the problem of "L'Idea della Architettura Universale" through the background of publication of his book in the Netherlands, England, and various evaluations of his book in the Germany, France and Italy. And we point out the need of the considerations of the theory and thought of the architecture that were not studied systematically heretofore.
