PALLADI'NO (James), a lingular theological writer, 
more commonly called James deTeramo, from the name 
of the city, in the Farther Abruzzo, where he was born in 
1349. He embraced the eccleliaftical life; and became 
lucceflively bifhop of Monopoli, archbilhop of Tarentum, 
of Florence, and of Spoleto. He aljo filled the poll of 
adminiftrator of the duchy of Spoleto, under Alexander V. 
and John XXIII. In the year 1417, he was lent into 
Poland, in the character of papal legate; and he died 
there in the fame year, about the age of fixty-eight. He 
was the author of fome extraordinary books,.which were 
very popular in his day, and were peculiarly adapted to 
the tafte of fuch a barbarous age. The molt famous of 
them is a pious romance, entitled “Jacobi de Teramo 
Compendium perbreve, Confolatio Peccutorum nuncupa- 
tum, et ap.ud r.onnullos Belial vocitatum: id eft, Pro- 
ceffus Luciferi contra Jefum.” This work was printed 
at Augfburg in 1472, folio, and frequently afterwards; 
and was tranflated into almoft all the languages, of Eu¬

PALLA'DIO (Andrea), a famous Italian architeCP, 
was born at Vicenza in 1518, of parents in the middle 
rank of life. As an artill he firli exercifed himfelf in 
fcnlpture, probably in an humble walk; and it appears to 
have been the poet Triffino, who, firft difeovering his 
genius for the arts, gave him inftrudtions in mathematical 
Icience, and explained to him the works of Vitruvius. 
Pie foon obtained diitinftion as an architect; and, having 
accompanied Triflino to Rome, he let himfelf to examine 
with great diligence ail the remains of ancient edifices in 
that capital, and formed his tafte upon them. He vifited 
feveral other parts of Italy; and in 1547 returned to Vi¬ 
cenza, where he found the magiftrates occupied about the 
reparation of their Bafilic, or court of juftice. His plan 
for this great work was approved, and the cohduCl of it 
was committed to him. His reputation caufed him to be 
fent for to Venice, where he built the palace Fofcari, in 
the ftyle of pure antiquity. He was employed for other 
works in the fame city, among which was a refedlory and 
church for the monaltery of St. Giorgio Maggiore. Se¬ 
veral other Italian cities were afterwards decorated with 
magnificent edifices, public and private, of his conftruc- 
tion ; and he was invited to the court of Emanuel-Piiiii- 
bert duke of Savoy, who received him with diftinguilhed 
honours. No architeft has given more plans than Palladio; 
and to him is principally attributed the claftic tafte which 
reigns in fo many of the buildings of Italy. His mailer- 
piece is efteemed to be the Olympic Theatre at Vicenza, 
in imitation of that of Marcellus at Rome. Pie died in 
that city of an epidemic difeafe in 1580, at the age of 
fixty-two, and received a fplendid funeral in the church 
of the Dominicans. 
Palladio was of a good prefence, cheerful, modeft, the 
friend of all men of talents, and affable towards the work¬ 
men, whom he willingly inftrudted in points where they 
were ignorant. His memory is highly honoured by the 
votaries of the fine arts; and the dignified limplicity and 
purity of his tafte has given him the appellation of The 
Raphael of Archite&s. He improved his art, not only 
by his edifices, but by his writings, which are ftandard 
performances. 1. His Treat-lie on Architecture, in four 
books, was firft publilhed at Venice in 1570, folio; and 
lias been feveral times reprinted. A magnificent edition, 
in 3 vols. folio, was publilhed at London in 1715, in 
Italian, French, and Englilh. Another, equally fplendid, 
has iince been publilhed at Venice, in 4 vols. folio, with 
the addition of his inedited buildings. 2. Lord Burling¬
