of worke alone is the fayrest wholest and best to be vnderstood and is so much the more wonderfull then the rest because it hath so many members which are all so correspondent one to the other that whosoeuer beholdeth it taketh great pleasure therein which proceedeth from this that the excellent workeman which inuented it chose the perfitest forme that is the round forme whereby it is vsually called Our Lady of the Round for within it is as high as it is broad And it may be that the sayd workeman considering that all things proceeding orderly haue a principall and onely head whereon the nether parts depend was of opinion that this piece of worke should haue onely but one light and that in the highest part thereof that it might spread abroad in all places alike as in effect you see it doth for besides other things which haue their perfect light there are sixe Chappels which for that they stand within the thicknesse of the wall should be darke yet they haue their due light by the meanes of some drawing windowes aboue in the top of the sayd Chappels which giue them second light taken from the vppermost hole so that there is not any small thing in them but it receiueth a part of the light and this is not made without great iudgement for this Temple in old time being dedicated to all the gods by which meanes there stood many Images in it which the diuers Tabernacles Seates and small windowes shew it was necessary that euery one had his due light Wherefore such as take pleasure to make Images and other imbossed or grauen worke must consider that such a Cabinet should haue his light from aboue that euery one standing in his place neede not looke for light to see but that they may bee seene altogether at one time But to come to my first speach For that the Pantheon seemeth vnto me to be the perfectest peece of worke that euer I saw therefore I thought it good to set it first in the beginning of this Booke and for a principall head of all other peeces of worke The founder of this Temple as Plinie writeth in more then one place was Marcus Agrippa to accomplish Augustus Caesars last will who being intercepted by death could not finish it and so it was built about foureteene yeeres after the byrth of our Lord which is about 5203. yeeres from the beginning of the world In this Temple as Pliny writeth the Capitals were of Copper and hee writeth also that Diogenes the Image-maker of Athens made the excellent Caracters in the Pillars and that the Images placed aboue the Frontespicium were much commended although by the highnesse of the place they could not be so well discerned This Temple was consumed with lightening and burnt about the 12. yeere of the raigne of the Emperour Traian which was about 113. yeeres after the byrth of Christ and in the 5311. yeere of the creation of the world and Lucius Septimus Seuerus and Marcus Aurelius Antonius repayred it agayne with all the Ornaments thereto belonging as it appeareth in the Architraue of the sayd frame which Ornaments you must presume were all new made otherwise the Caracters of Diogenes would still haue bene seene there But in truth the workman that made it was very iudicious and constant for that he proportioned the members thereof very iudiciously to the body and would not suppresse the worke with many cuttings but as I will shew when time serueth how to place and deuide them excellent well Also in all the worke hee hath obserued the worke of Corinth and would mixe no other with it and withall the measures of all the members are as well obserued as euer I saw or measured in any other peece of worke whereby we may call this Temple an example of workemanship But leauing this matter for that it giueth the workeman little or no instruction to the purpose I will proceede to the particular measures and that I may goe forward orderly in these Antiquities the first Figure shall be the Ichnography The second the Orthography The third the Sciography This Figure following is the Ichnography that is the ground of the Temple aforesayd which is measured by the ancient or old Romish Palmes placed along by the side hereof And first speaking of the Portall whereof the Columnes are 6. Palmes 29. minutes thicke The Intercolumnes which are the spaces from one Columne to another are 8. Palmes and 9. minutes the breadth of the Portall is 40. Palmes the breadth of the flat Pillars of the Portall is like the Diameter of the Columnes the breadth of the Seates betweene the Pillars is 10. Palmes and the Pilasters on the sides are 2. Palmes the widenesse of the Gates is 26. Palmes and a halfe the widenesse of the whole Temple that is of the Floore within from one wall to another is 194. Palmes and iust so much is the height from the Floore to the vndermost stone of the window aboue The sayd round hole is 36. Palmes and a halfe broad each of the sixe Chappels that are made within the thicknesse of the wall are 26. Palmes and 30. minutes and goe halfe as deepe into the wall as the thicknesse of the foure square Pillars on each side But the principall Chappell is thirtie Palmes broad and also is an halfe Circle besides the Pillars aforesayd The thicknesse of the Columnes of all the Chappels is 5. Palmes 3. minutes lesse the foure square corner Pillars also of the sayd Chappels contayning as much The Columnes of the Tabernacle betweene the Chappels are two Palmes thicke the thicknesse of the wall that goeth round about the whole body of the Temple is 31. Palmes And although that the Chappels make the walles hollow yet betweene them there are hollow places made within the walles which some say were left for places to receiue wind because of earthquakes But I am of opinion that they were left so vnfilled to spare stuffe because they are made circlewise and are strong inough The going vp which you see here on the left side was also on the right side to go vp the Portall men also went from thence round about the Temple ouer the Chappels through a secret way which is yet there through the which also they went without on the steps to clime vp into the highest parts of the buildings with many goings vp which are round about it It is thought that this foundation was all one masse or lumpe and without many places hollow so that some neighbours marking it and seeking to build haue found such a foundation when they digged This is the old Romish Palme which is deuided into twelue fingers and each finger is deuided into foure parts which are called Minutes by the which measure this present Figure with all the parts following was measured The ground of the Pantheon called Rotonde The forme of the Pantheon without THE Figure hereunder sheweth the whole forme of the Pantheon right before and

for my part would not make it so high but to sÃ©e the same in a place that hath great distances and which standeth not very high it sheweth to bee in good proportion The Capitall is farre from Vitruuius order of writing for it is higher without the Abacus then Vitruuius maketh it with the Abacus notwithstanding according to common opinion they are the fayrest Capitals that are in Rome and not onely the Capitals of the Tabernacles but they also of the Chappels are of the like forme and those of the Portall also in such sort that I iudge as I sayd at the beginning that I haue not found a building of greater obseruation of order then this but if I should wryte all that are in it both within and without I should peraduenture be ouer tedious therefore I wil make an end of this wonderful Building and speake of other Antiquities THis Temple of Bacchus is very ancient and also whole inough and also for worke fayrenesse of stones Plaister both in the Panement and in walles also in the Tribunes or round toofes in the middle and in the roofe of the round walke made altogether after the order of Composita the whole Diameter within from Wall to Wall is 100. Palmes long whereof the middlemost body set about with Pillars containeth 50. Palmes in the intercolumnes I find great difference to liken the one to the other because that the middle most intercolumnes or spaces betwÃ©ene the Columnes where you come in and out of the Portall are 9. Palmes and 30. minutes and the other right ouer against them are but 9. Palmes and 9. minutes those that are ouer against the greatest Chappelare 8. Palmes and 31. minutes and the other foure Columnes resting hold 7. Palmes 8. minutes and some 7. Palmes 12. minutes The widenesse of the entry within and of the foure cornerd Chappell ouer against it follow the intercolumnes and so doeth the widinesse of the two great places or round Chappels their intercolumnes The other places or Chappels are 7. Palmes and 5. minutes broad The measure of the Portall before may be taken by the measure of the Temple which Portall is round Reâ—sed without before the Portall there walking place made in forme of an Egge which was 588. Palmes leng and in the middle it was 140. Palmes broad and as it appeareth by the decayed monuments it was sull of Pillars as it may be sÃ©ene in the Figure The ground of the Temple of Bacchus H Here before I shewed the ground of the Temple with the measure thereof now in this Figure I will shew the Ortographie thereof within for without it is wholy defaced the height from the Pauement to the vppermost part of the roofe is 86. Palmes the thicknesse of the Columnes is two Palmes and 14. minutes the height of them is 22. Palmes and 11. minutes The height of the Base is one Palme and 7. minutes The height of the Capitall is 2. Palmes and a quarter The height of the Architraue is one Palme and a quarter so much also the FrÃ©ese holdeth But the height of the Cornices are two Palmes and a halfe The particular members as of the Bases Cornices and Capitals you sÃ©e here vnder proportioned according to their greatnesse and marked in their seuerall places This Temple standeth without Rome and is dedicated to S. Annc. THE Ichnographie hereunder placed is the aforesayd walking place before the Temple of Bacchus with a lodge round about it as you may perceiue by some very ruinous places thereof and all about betwÃ©ene each intercolumne there was a place or seat beautified with small Pillars where it is thought a certains Idoll stond and as it is sayd this walking place was made Quale wife yet very long as of 588. Palmes and 140. Palmes broad The Temple of Bacchus as I sayd is full of many Ornaments and of diuers Compartements whereof I haue shewed some part but not all The thrÃ©e inuentions hereunder placed are in the same Temple some of faire stone and the other of Pilaister THis Temple of peace the Emperor Vespatian caused to bee made by the Market in Rome which Temple is come mended of Plinie for it was much beautified with grauen worke and Pilaister of Stucco and besides these Ornaments of the said Temple after the death of Nero Vespatian caused all the Images both of Copper and Marble to bee placed therein which Ring Nero had gathered together out of diuers places which were no small number Vespatian also placed in it both his owne and his childrens Images made of a new kind of Marble brought out of Ethiopia called Bassalto being of an Iron collour a kind of stuffe much commended in those times In the said Temple and the principall Chappell thereof there stood an Image of white Marble very great made of many pieces of which reliques there are many pieces yet to bÃ©e sÃ©ene in Campidoglo eassly vpoÌ„ it wherby a man may guesse and among other pieces there is a foote whereof the greatnesse of the Image and it was the nayle of the great Toe is so great that I sate made by an excellent workeman THis Temple is measured with Elles and the Elle is deuided into 12. parts called ounces the measure which standeth in the middle of the ground of the Temple is halfe an Elle First the length of the ladges about is 122. Elles the bredth is 15. Elles the widenesse of the places before in the lodgis containe 10. Elles the thickenesse of the Pillars at the entrie is fine Elles and betwÃ©ene the one Pillar and the other is 10. Elles the goings in on both sides both of the Portall and of the Temple are 16.

Canels the caue or hollowing of each Canell is 5. ounces broad and the list thereof one ounce and a halfe the bredth of the principall Chappell is about 32. Elles and is halfe a Circle Those on the sides marked A. B. are 37. Elles broad land goe 16. Elles into the Wall which is lesse then halfe a Circle the thickenesse of the Wall round about the Temple is 12. Elles altough in many places because of the Bowes it is much thinner The Circumferences of the Chappels are 6. Elles thicke betwÃ©ene the one Pilaster and the other if is 45. Elles you may conceane the quantitie of the measure of many places and windowes with other particular things by the measures aforesayd for the Figure is proportioned Touching the Ortographie which is the Figure heceafter following because the ground is all ceâ—â—â—red ouer with the ruines thereof I could not measure it from the ground to

skilfull workeman may helpe himselfe therewith by inuention THis small Tempel is of no great compas and all made of Bricke it is measured by the olde Romane Palme the length of the lodge or Gallery is 40. Palms the bredth therof is 16. Palmes the Doore is 10. Palms the places in the walles within are all of one widenes that is 14. Palmes the space betwÃ©en them is 6. Palmes the rest may bee guessed by sight for I guest the height from the Pauement to the Architraue to be 40. Palmes and the Architraue FrÃ©ese and Cornice to bee 9. Palmes and touching the rest I made accompt that if I allowed a Palme vpright for the round roofe then the whole Tempel should be about 70. Palmes The ancient Roman Palme THis Temple is without Rome made part of Marble and the rest of Brick it is much decayed it is thought that it was a Sepulchre and on all sides it is right foure square froÌ„ the one Wall to the other is 30. Palmes broad the thicknesse of the walles is 2. Palms and a halfe the widenesse of the Chappel is ten Palmes the Doore is fiue Palmes broad the height of the Pillars with Bases and Capitals is 22.

Palmes THis Temple hereunder set downe is A Tiuoli by the Riuer much decayed which had the frontispice before and behind the Columnes on the sides are more then halfe without the wall the widenesse of the Temple from the one wall to the other is 11. Elles measure by the same measure that Templum pietatis is measured withall the length of the Temple is 8. Elles the thickenesse of the wall is one Elle and 11. minutes the thicknes of the Columnes of the Portall is an Ell and a third part the height of them with Bases and Capitals is about 12. Elles the height of the Architraue FrÃ©ese and Cornice is thrÃ©e Elles the Frontispice from aboue the Cornice to the height is 3. Elles the height of the basement is 3. Elles and a halfe In the Fascie before there is no show of a Doore nor of any places in the Walles by reason of the ruinousnesse thereof but I haue drawne it out thus to make the more show because I iudge it had bene so neither can you sÃ©e any windowes in the wales nor sides nor yet behind although I haue placed them here in the ground where I thought best The measure of the members both of the Basement and the Cornices aboue I will not name particularly for they are proportioned according to Antiquitie whereof you may sÃ©e some parts The third part of the Ell aforesayd ALthough at the beginning of this Booke I said I would speake onely of Antiquities yet I will not omit withall to entreat of some moderne things made in our time and specially because our age hath flourished with so many good wits for inuention of Architecture There was in the time of Pope Iulio the second a workeman called Bramant of Casteldurante in the Dukedome of Vrbin who was a man of so great vnderstanding in Architecture that it might be sayd by meanes of the ayde and performents which the Pope gone him that hee raysed by good Architecture againe which from ancient time till then had bone hidden and kept secret which Bramant in his time layd the foundation or beginning of the wonderfull worke of S. Peters Tempel in Rome but being preuented by death did not onely leane it vnfinished but the modell thereof also was left vnperfect wherein diuers ingenious workemen sought to busie themselues both to perfect and finish it and amongst many others Raphael Durbin Paynter a man also very skilfull in Architecture following Bramants steps made perfect this draught the which in my opinion is one of the fayrest draughts that are to be found out of the which the ingenious workeman may helpe himselfe in many things I will not set downe all the measures of this Tempel because that it is well proportioned and a man may by part of the measure find out the rest This Tempel is measured with the old Romane Palme and the broadest walkes therein is 92. Palmes broade those of the sides are but halfe as much by these two measures you may guesse the rest IN the time of Iulius the second there was in Rome one Balthazar Petrucio of Sienne not onely an excellent Paynter but also very skilfull in Architecture who following the doctrine of Bramant made a modell in forme hereunder set downe whose meaning was that the Temple should haue foure gates to go into it and that the high Altar should stand in the middle thereof at the foure Corners he made foure Sacristes vpon the top whereof men might place the Clocketowers for an ornament thereunto and the first part or Facie thereof looked into the Citie This Temple is measured with the olde Romane Palme and first it is in the middle from one Pilaster to another 204. Palmes the Diameter of the Circle in the middle is 184. Palmes long The Diameter of the foure small Circles is 65. Palmes The Sacristes are 100. Palmes wide The foure Pilasters in the middle make foure Bowes or Arches which beare vp the Lanthorne and these foure Bowes or Arches are all full made which are in height 220. Palmes and aboue these Arches a Tribune excellently set foorth with Columnes with a round Roofe vpon it which Bramant ordayned before hee died whereof the ground is here set downe THe Figure hereunder set down is the ground of the Tribune that should haue gone aboue ouer the foure Bowes or Arches as I sayd before whereby a man may perceiue that Bramant in such case was bolder to draw a piece of worke then circumspect therein because so great and massie a piece of worke should haue an excellent foundation to stand very fast and not to be made vpon foure Bowes or Arches of such an height And for confirmation of my spÃ©ech the foure Pilasters and also the Arches without any other waight vpon them are already settled and suncke yea and rent in some places Neuerthelesse because the inuention is fayre and costly and a thing a giue good instruction to a workeman I thought it good to place it here in a modell but not to be tedious in setting downe the measures I will shew some of the principallest the rest you may finde with the small Palme which standeth here within the ground which length containeth 50. Palms the thickenesse of the first Columne without is 5. Palmes the thickenesse of the second Columne within is 4. Palmes and the thicknesse of the third Columne is 3.
