Abstract
Andrea Palladio was a famous Itarian architect in Renaissance. Three books are known as his work. The most important book is "I Quattro libri dell' Architettura". But impressed designs in these books have several questions. Because, these designs neither correspond the explanations in books, nor monuments realized by him-self. There are almost his own designs (not impressed) in England. Through these designs, we know that Andrea Palladio had recoreded roman monuments very exactly, but in the parts we are impossible to be found he had created the antique architecture. This tendency is found in his book, too. He was not historian, but architect in renaissance. bibliography: Palladio A. "I Quattro libri dell', Architettura, Milano, 1945. the "Palladio". La libreria dello stato, Roma 1951〜3. etc.
