	Charles Perrault - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Perrault was born in Paris to a wealthy bourgeois family.
		Perrault's tales were mostly adapted from earlier folk tales (for example by Giambattista Basile) in the milieu of stylish literary salons in the 1690s, as a recreation from the more strenuous energy expended in the Battle of the Ancients and Moderns or the struggles of Jansenism.
		His brother, Claude Perrault, is remembered as the architect of the severe east range of the Louvre, built between 1665 and 1680.

	Ordonnance for the Five Kinds of Columns after the Method of the Ancients (Getty Bookstore)
		A physician, physicist, Cartesian, and "Modern," Claude Perrault (1613-1688) acquired architectural immortality with his design of the east wing of the Louvre.
		In the course of making this classical theorist "speak French" for the benefit of the students of the newly founded Académie Royale d'Architecture, Perrault himself became immersed in the issues of architectural theory, and the result was his Ordonnance for the Five Kinds of Columns after the Method of the Ancients (1683).
		Situating Perrault within his intellectual context, Alberto Pérez-Gómez delineates the historical import of his relative theory of beauty and describes in detail Perrault's feud with Francois Blondel, who was concurrently charged with writing the curriculum for state architectural education in France.
