TUSCAN DORICK IONICK CORINTHIAN COMPOSITE Whereby any that can but Read and Understand English may readily learn the Proportious that all Members in a Building have one unto another Set forth by Mr. James Barozzio of Vignola Translated into English By Joseph Moxon The Third Edition with Additions 2 Chron. 33 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God c LONON Printed for Joseph Moxon and sold at his Shop on Ludgate Hill neer Fleet Bridge at the Signe of ATLAS 1673. To the Ingenious Artist I Have here presented you with the Works of Mr. James Barozzio of Vignola in English who for his great Skill and knowledge in the Art of Architecture is much respected and highly applauded among all Artificers throughout Christendome there being few Nations of any note that have not his works translated into their own Language onely we here in England I know not whether it be through carelesness in Artists or else covetousness mind not those things which make other Countries that have nothing else to boast of so famous among their Neighbours Certain I am that England breeds as good wits as other Lands do and would they but shew themselves more forward in commendable Studies would doubtless share with them in their Praises Our Author first collected these things together for his own private use and by the solicitations of many Persons of Worth and Honour did at last though unwillingly consent to make the World for a small price partakers of that which cost him so much labour study and travel And whereas former Authors left their Works uncertain or at least doubtfull to all but their own Nations in respect of the several measures they used as some the Fathom some the Foot some the Span some the Inch of their own particular Country which seldome agrees with the Fathom Foot or Inch of any other Land our Author to avoid that great inconven●ence and certain uncertainty hath reduced all his measures to a convenient and universal measure which is ●alled by the name of a Model the invention whereof hath made the whole Art of Architecture very easie to all Students therein for it is nothing else but the half Diamter of the Column at the lower end thereof as if the whole Diameter should be 10 12 14 or 16 inches then will the half Diameter be 5 6 7 or 8 inches and that is called the Model which Model he divides into 12 equal parts when he frames the Tu●can and Dorick Order and into 18 for the Ionick Corinthian and Composite In the Translation of this Book I have followed so neer as I could the words of our Author unless here and there I have been a little more large thereby endeavouring the better to express his meaning and instruct the young Practitioner I confess the Book was formerly translated by another hand but it was so generally disliked indeed not without cause that I chose rather to take the pains to translate it a new than run the hazzard of discouraging young Artists with those dark and unproper directions Now for the better instructions of such as desire to study this pleasant profitable and commendable Art and yet are disheartned by the strange words used therein I have collected all the hard words together and given you the meaning of them that so when you find your self puzzeled with any word of Art you need but have recourse to this Alphabetical Table and find the explanation of any hard word used in this Book A Abacus the member ma●ked L in number V. Anulets G numb X. Architrave numb I. word Architr Astragaloes B numb XV. B Band B numb IV. Base word Base numb I. C Capital numb I. word Capital Cathetus a line drawn from the top of any thing to the bottom Cimatium L numb V. Composite Order read numb XXV Corinthian Order The name of Columns made after the manner described in numb XIX Cornice numb I word Cornice D Dentils B numb X. Diagonal line a line drawn from the two opposite Angles in a Square E Equilaterial Triangle a Triangle whose sides are all of equal length F Flutes D numb X. Friese numb I. word Friese G Groeves A numb IX Gula or throat F. numb V. I Ichnography the ground or Plot on which any thing is projected Intersection the point where two lines cross one the other Ionick Order The name of Columns made after the manner discribed in numb XII L List C numb V. M Metops D numb X. Model I have just now told you what it is in this Epistle Modilion B numb X. O Overture an arch as is described between the Columns in numb VII Ovolo A numb V. P Pedestal that whereon the Column stands as in numb VI. Perpendicular a line that cuts a second line at right angles is said to be perpendicular to the second line Pilasters the Pillars that stand behind the Columns whereon the Arches rests see numb VII Plinthus D numb IV. Profile see Ichnography Q Quadrant the fourth part of a Circle R Right angles right angles are neither more nor less then square Corners S Scroll the winding figure in numb XVIII is called a Scroll Scotia A numb XV. Semi-circle half the circumference of a circle Spiral line the two outmostlines of the wreathed Column numb XXX are called Spiral lines Swathe the same that Band is T Triglyph D numb X. Tondino B numb V. Torus A B numb XXII Tuscan Order the names of Columns made after the manner described in numb I. V Voluta the same that Scroll is The understanding of this Table is so easie that I shall not need to explain any thing in it that I know of only take notice that where you see a Letter as BC c and numb I. V. X. or the like follow any word that then you are referred to the leaf marked with that number therefore in that leaf seek for the same Letter and the Member that that Letter stands in is called by that name I know some that are already sufficient Artists may think the sleighter of this Book meerly because I have made it plain to common Capacities But if such will but look back upon their own younger endeavours they may perhaps remember the time when themselves would have been glad of any help that might have furthered them in their then-thought tedious and difficult Studies Besides they may also know that it is easier for themselves to know the meaning of plain and easie expressions than for young Students to understand the directions of hard and difficult Instructions Joseph Moxon I BEcause I have not found among the Antiquities of Rome any Tuscan Ornaments from whence I might

Teeth C The Capital of the Triglyph D The Triglyph in which those parts that are framed inwards are called Flutes or Hollows and the square place of the Friese between the Triglyphs is called a Metops E The Props or little Bells F The Cimatium G The Annulets Bands or Lists In Figure XXXIII and XXXIV you have other Ornaments to set under the Cornice of the Dorick Order XI THis other piece of the Dorick Order is taken from the remainder of some of the Antiquities of ROME of which Work I have seen such a comely Composure that it hath been very pleasant and gracefull to behold A The Gola reversed or upright B The Modillion by which name all such Members are called though they be severally framed or Underprop to bear up the Cornice C The Bead string XII WHen you make the Jonick Order without a Pedestal you must divide its whole height into 22 parts and an half and one of those parts shall be a Model then divide each Model into 18 parts The reason why each Model is divided into more parts than the Tuscan or Dorick Order is because this being a more curious and spritely Order doth require more small and acute divisions for the more exact setting down of the Dimensions of every particular Member The length of the Column with Base and Capital must be 18 Models the Architrave 1 and one quarter the Friese 1 and an half the Cornice 1 and three quarters which numbers and fractions added together make 22 and an half as aforesaid And if you add the numbers and fractions of the Architrave Frise and Cornice together they will make 4 Models and an half which is one quarter of the Column with Base and Capital XIII WHen you make Galleries or Lodges after the Ionick Order you must make the Bredth of the Pilasters 3 Models the Bredth of the Arch 8 Models and an half the Height of the Arch 17 Models which is twice the bredth of the Arch this rule is strictly to be observed in all the Arches of the like Order unlesse by necessity you are compelled to the contrary XIV NOw when you make Galleries or Lodges after the Ionick Order with Pedestals you must divide the whole height into 28 parts and an half and allow for the height of the Pedestal with its Ornaments 6 Models which is one third part of the height of the Column with its Base and Capital which as was said before ought to be observed in all the Orders The bredth of the Arch shall be 11 Models the height 22 Models and the bredth of the Pilasters shall be 4 Models as you may see in the Figure XV. THe upper List or Cornice of the Impost is one Model and its Out-jetting one third part of a Model the Dimensions of the other particular Members may be known by their severall Numbers in the Figure A The Scotia or Upper-hollowing B The Astragaloes or Rounds C The Scotia or Nethermost-hollowing XVI THough the manner of making the Jonick Capital be designed in this Figure with the Ichnography thereof and Profile yet for the better understanding thereof you ought to draw two Cathetus or Perpendicular lines distant from one another the space of two Models through the Centers of the Eyes of the Voluta or Scroll The whole height of the Voluta or Scroll ought to be 16 parts of a Model 8 parts whereof are above the Center or Eye and 6 parts under the Eye so that there will remain two parts of a Model for the depth of the Eye The manner of designing this Scroll is set down in the Figure over the leaf together with as ample a description upon it as can be expected in so small a Room XVII The manner of making the Voluta or Scroll FIrst Draw a Cathetus whose length must be 16 parts of a Model and upon the 7th part upwards make the Center of the eye of the Scroll and upon that Center describe a Circle whose half Diameter shall be one part and that Circle shall be the eye of the Scroll then through the Center of the Eye draw a straight line that shall both cut the Cathetus at right Angles and divide the Circle into 4 equall parts then from the points of Intersection of the straight lines with the Circle describe a Square within the Eye and every side of this square divide into two equall parts and from each Division to its Opposite draw straight lines then divide each of these lines from the Center into 3 equal parts and with figures mark every point of Division as in the Draft with 1 2 3 c. and from this ground-worke you may with great ease describe the whole Scroll as followeth First place one foot of your Compasses upon the side of the Square at the point 1 and extend the other to the top of the Cathetus and from thence describe a Quadrant which will reach from the top of the Cathetus aforesaid to the streight line that is perpendicular to the Cathetus then remove the one foot of your Compasses to figure 2 and bring the other foot to the ending of the former Quadrant and from thence describe another Quadrant which shall end at the bottom of the Cathetus then move your Compasses again and place one foot at figure 3 and the other foot where the second Quadrant ended and from thence describe another Quadrant then move your Compasses to figure 4 and where your last Quadrant ended describe another then move one foot of your Compasses into the point of Division marked with Figure 5 and fit the other foot to the place where your last Quadrant ended and from thence describe another Quadrant from thence move to 6 and describe another Quadrant then to 7 then to 8 c. To make the thickness of the List of the Scroll THe thickness of the List must be one quarter of the space of the shortest distance between the two edges in the Scroll therefore when you draw a List about it you must divide the space between every one of the 12 Centers into 4 equall parts and place one foot of your Compasses upon the division that fals next to the Centre of that Arch whose List you mean to draw and with the other foot you may describe the Arch that shall be the bounds of the List of the Scroll in that place Do the like in all the rest and your Scroll and List about it will be finished XVIII A Second way to make the Voluta DEscribe the Triangle BCD after this manner Let the side CD be 7 parts of a Model then let fall the perpendicular BC upon the point C whose length must be 9 parts of a Model and from the points BD draw the other line in the Triangle Then upon the point C describe a Circle whose half Diameter shall be 1 part of a Model and this Circle shall represent the Eye of the Scroll Then set one foot of your Compasses upon the point D
