make the Egs and Anchors The Neck noted I is divided in two parts which is marked with two little Crosses the one is the breadth of the Astragale this Astragale again divide into three parts whereof one shall be for the Fillet the eighth part of the thickness of the body of the Column below shall be the Projecture of the Capital the Astragale must project in a square as may be seen more plainly in the great Capital following the projecting of the body of the Column noted K is made after this manner The said Column in its length between the Base of the Column and the Astragale it shall be divided into six parts whereof two shall remain below and is the third part of the height having made a division from the bottom to the top you shall draw lines passing through on each side and upon the line of the third part you shall set a Compass compassing from one end to the other apply the Compass to the side and divide the Circle from one of the sides of its half Circle unto the place where the Perpendicular line falleth off the Scapus or thickness of the Column above until it be on the sixth part of Icnographia being on the Pedestal where they divide the round of the side into four parts which you shall make with lines across as it appeareth in this Figure Likewise you shall draw out of each part a line proceeding upward beginning on the outside and reaching unto the sixth part of the body of the Column and so following the second and third of the lines so drawn each in his place let the lines of the diminishing be drawn proceeding across unto the other and by this the body shall have its diminishing and to render it more equal and pleasant to the eye whereas the Circle is divided into four parts divide the same space into 5 6 7 or 8 and the body of the Column likewise for the more divisions you make thereof the said diminishing will be the more equal and pleasing but I would not make it into more then four for to make the manner thereof more intelligible to those that have less skil in this Art the which having practised in four divisions will make the other more easie to them There is yet another manner of diminishing of Columns which Vitruvius sets forth in his third Book Chap. 2. which is made after this manner it is That each of those Columns which shall reach from the Basis unto the Capital about fifteen foot of height the Diameter of this Column below ought to be divided into six parts and of this it will suffice that the end above have five of them Of those which shall be from fifteen to twenty foot the greater end below shall be divided into six parts and a half whereof you must allow five and an half for the end above of another which may have from twenty to thirty feet let the Diameter below be divided into seven parts and an half whereof there shall be allowed six and half for the end above and the lessening thereof will be convenient when one shall be presented between thirty and forty feet of height divide the end below into seven parts and a half then allow six and a half for the end above and so the Columns will have a good diminishing But if you find any between forty and fifty feet you must divide their Diameter below in eight parts whereof you shall allow seven for the diminishing the end above and that shall be done rightly which belongeth to it nevertheless observe the manner here above described noted by the Figure 3. Above the Capital is the Architrave noted L and hath half the Diameter of the body of the Column below and being divided into six parts one part is for the Cimatum and the said part being divided into three one part shall be for the Fillet on the left side The other five parts of the Architrave divide into nine whereof five shall be for the upper Fascia the four for the lower The whole having Projecture as this Figure sheweth Over the Architrave is the Friese noted M of which the height is half the Diameter of the Column below over the Friese shall be set the Cornish and it is of the same height with the Friese It s Projecture noted N on the side is equal to its height and is divided into four parts whereof the first is for the lower Cimatum divided into three one for the Fillet and the two remaining for the Cima Of the three parts remaining of the Cornish one is for the Boultin and Fillet the said part being divided into four one for the Fillet and three for the Boultin The two parts remaining of the first parts are for the Projecture of the Corona which is equal to the height the part below is divided into eleven parts whereof two are for the Fillet and one for the Dentecules it is fitting to have three as deep as large This is the Description of this Column with the true Symmetry and Compartition of its parts used by the Romans and Ventians according to that which I have been able to gather thereof out of all the most antient Authors which God hath given me the opportunity to see And to make the use and practice of the Members of the said Column more easie here above to particularize to the Reader and Artist very exactly to observe the Measures and Proportions which ought therein to be kept he shall find hereafter in a great propottion a Pedestal accompanied with its Basis enriched the said Pedestal being noted in the middle with O and the said Basis with the letter P. in its Plinth In the other part of the leaf on the left side of the said Pedestal and Basis may be seen a Capital of great Proportion agreeable to the said Basis and Pedestal which is noted in his Friese with Q. And above the which Capital is the Icnography thereof answering proportionably to the Icnography or plain which is described within the said Pedestal marked O. And on the side of the Capital may be seen the Draught of the Egg or Oval Geometrically described for the benefit of the Workman whensoever he would use the same in his enrichments for to make them the more perfect and pleasing to the eye After you may see in two pages following two different Architraves Frieses and Cornishes likewise in great proportion garnished with their Enrichments requisite according to the capacity of the said Tuscan Order where the one of the said Pourtracts containing the Architrave Friese and Cornish the one is noted in its Friese with R the other being over against it with S. Here followeth the Antiquity of the Tuscan Column first in Order BEcause the Tuscan Column is more gross and stronger then any of the other following it hath been more used by the Antients in Fortresses because it is more fit as being less
charged with moulding and by this means less subject to be corrupted Pliny the Historographer speaketh of its Antiquity that the Tuscans which at present inhabit the Countrey about Florence were descended from the Greeks wherefore the Tuscan much resembleth the Dorick Some Architects do write that this Column hath its name from a certain Gyant named Tuscan of whom as they say the High Dutch Almaius are descended But it is true that the Tuscan is the thickest and strongest of all by reason of its strength I have set it in the first place as hath been said before for the said Tuscan hath but six Diameters of its Body at the bottom in length or height the Dorick seven the Ionick eight the Corinthian nine the Composite ten An especial Advertisement to Workmen that have only hand practice and use of Rule and Compasses FOR the better intelligence of Workmen that have a desire but are not much experienced in the said Art of Architecture they may be helped by the said measures in setting up Columns or Pilasters whether for ornament of the fore-parts of Lodgings Porches Gates Windows or other chief Work which they would enrich with Columns or Pilasters taking notice to both sides of one of the Columns hereafter set forth of this said Tuscan Order as likewise of the other following as well of the Dorick Order Jonick Corinthian as of the Composite that is to say Of those which are on the right side void of Figures and Characters for to bring them to their perfection he shall find on the side of the same two Perpendicular Lines the one of which being noted TV at the end and that on the other side XY each of them divided into ten equal parts each of the said parts supposed to be one foot and each of the said feet divided into twelve little marks for to signifie the twelve inches that the foot by the Standard doth contain one of the which inches may be divided into twelve other parts by which means the Proportions and Measures of the said Columns may be more exactly found by the means of which feet and inches contained in the said two Perpendicular Lines and Parallels laying a Rule upon the said two lines crossing from each of the figures contained in the said Perpendicular Lines to the other beginning below it the Pedestal two inches and an half above the two feet marked in the said two perpendicular lines with the figure 2. which is the entire height of the said Pedestal its Basis and Cornish in ten foot of height the said Column containing all its Members that is to say the Pedestal Basis body of the Column Capital Architrave Friese and Cornish which the said Workman continuing going upwards towards the top and Cornish of the said Column shall find the measures of all the particular Members in the said Column as also in all other heights of Columns propounded without changing the Pourtract changing only other perpendicular lines as if instead of ten feet which we have supposed for example the said perpendicular lines were divided into fifteen parts signifying fifteen feet and each foot into twelve inches as hath been said above and consequently also of all other heights which shall be propounded to the said Workmen which have but only the practice of the Rule and the Compass may be able by this means to help themselves by the said Pourtracts of Columns and use them for any heights as they shall please without altering or changing the Measures and Proportions of the same a matter of great benefit for ordinary Workmen which have not been bread up in learning the which I was willing to add at the end of this first Chapter of the said Tuscan Column according to a promise made by me in the brief of the first Book of my works of Architecture But considering with my self that this Advertisement would be more convenient in this place then in any other I had a desire to insert it and yet I shall not cease to make mention thereof in the end of some other Chapters following for the help of the said unlearned Workmen having as is said only the practice of Rule and Compass and a hand fitting to perform any piece of Work undertaken by them of what kind soever they may be whereunto the said Colums and Pilasters may be fitly applyed A New Treatise of the DORICK ORDER CHAP. II. THE second Column which is the Dorick is compared to a Gyant because it is gross strong and robust the height thereof is divided into eight parts whereof two shall make the height of the Pedestal these two divide into three others the one for the thickness of the body of the Column below and seven such parts shall make the height of it with its Base and Capital and thus the Body noted A with the Pedestal joyned to it shall have in height ten parts divide the thickness of the body into four parts two of them being joyned thereto do make the largeness of the Pedestal and after you shall add to each side one part for the Projecture of the Cornish of the Pedestal The height of the Pedestal noted B is divided into seven parts whereof the two outward do make the Cornish and Basis the five parts remaining shall make a square according to the height of the Pedestal Cornish and Basis the Diagonal Line thereof being erect shall make the height of the Pedestal between the Basis and Cornish The Basis on the right side noted C divide into two parts one for the Plinth the other divide into three two for the Thorus the third for the Fillet That on the left side noted D which is of another fashion also divide in two parts whereof the one shall be the Plinth the other likewise divide in two whereof one part is for the Thorus below the other divide into three two for the Thorus the third for the Fillet The Projecture of each of them is in a square the Projecture of the Plinth shall be the sixth part of the largeness of the Pedestal The Cornish of the Pedestal noted F divide into five parts one for the Astragal two for the Cima and the two other for the Plinth which divide again into three The Cornish of the Pedestal on the left hand noted G divide into four parts one for the Astragal two for the Cima the remainder for the Square The Base which is placed upon the Pedestal noted H is the half Diameter of the body of the Column which divide into three parts one part for the Plinth the remaining divide into four one part for the Thorus above the remainder divide in two equal parts one shall befor the Thorus below the other for the Scotia After having divided this into seven parts one shall make each Fillet with the which it is inclosed The Fillet of the body below noted I shall be made after this manner Divide the largeness of the body of the Column into four
where one may see likewise designed in small the under props of the said Cornishes which in respect of the incapacity of the Plate could not be set there in their just proportion Those which would make use thereof may reduce them together as is fitting The Antiquity of the Dorick Column being the second in Order AS for the Original and Antiquity of the said Dorick Column and of the first Buildings that have been adorned therewith I thought it fitting to make mention in this Chapter for to ease the Curious Reader of the labour of reading many other Authors which have written thereof Amongst the rest the most excellent Vitruvius in the first Chapter of his fourth Book where he writeth that the said Dorick Column is the first and antientest of all others The which was first invented by a Prince named Dorus Lord of Achaia and Peloponesus in Greece The said Dorus built first by an occasional chance a Temple of this form in the City of Argos and afterwards others like in many other Towns of the said Countrey the Symmetry Proportion and Compartition of the Measures being not then as yet found out But afterwards those of Athens with their Captain Ion Son of Xanthus making War in Asia conquered the Countrey of Caria and named it Ionia according to the name of the said Ion and having begun to build Temples of their Godds they built the first to Apollo after the likeness and fashion of those which they had seen in Achaia And the said Temple of Apollo was by them named Dorick because that they had seen such like in the Countrey of Doria but when as they would in the said Temple place and erect the Pillars they found not any Proportion Measure nor Symetry certain and seeking a means to make such as might bear a great weight and nevertheless be pleasant to behold they took their Dimensions upon the foot of a Man which they found to be the sixth part of him which they transported and appropriated to the said Column in such manner as the body of it was by them lifted up six times the Diameter of the body of it below containing therein its Capital Thus the Dorick Column took at first its Proportion and Measure according to the bigness and strong stature of a Man Accordingly the Edifices and Buildings after a manner pleasing to behold both firm and strong to the which afterwards for the greater pleasure hath been added a Diameter more by those of Modern times which are seven Diameters leaving the six for the height of the Tuscan being the thickest and strongest of the Columns An especial Advertisement for ordinary Workmen who have only the Use of the Rule and Compass BUT for further understanding to ordinary Workmen they shall find on the side of them viz. those that are void of Figures and Characters two perpendicular lines the one whereof being on the one side of this said Dorick noted CC and DD at their ends and that of the other side with EE and FF each divided into 15 equal parts supposing each of those parts for a foot and each of the said feet divided into 12 small points to shew the 12 inches that a foot by the Standard must contain the one of which inches may be also divided into 12 other parts that by this means they may more exactly find the Proportions and Measures of the said Columns by means of which feet and inches contained in the said perpendicular lines and Parallels placing a Rule upon the said two lines traversing each of the Cyphers contained in the one and the other of the said Perpendiculars beginning below at the Pedestal at 9 inches above the 3 feet marked in the said two perpendicular lines with the figures 1 2 3. which is the entire hight of the said Pedestal with its Cornish and Base therein contained at 15 feet of height the said Column containing all its Members viz. the Pedestal Base Body of the Column Capital Architrave Friese and Cornish the which the said Workman continuing ascending towards the top and Cornish of the said Column shall find the measures of all the particular Members in the said Column as also in all other heights of Columns proposed without changing the Pattern changing only other perpendicular lines as if in the place of 15 foot which is made for Example the said perpendicular lines were divided into 20 parts signifying 20 feet and each foot into 12 inches as it is said above and consequently of all other heights which shall be propounded to the said Workman which hath not learning but onely the practice of the Rule and Compass they may by this means help themselves by the said Patterns of Columns to use them for all such heights as they shall think fit without changing and defacing the Measures and Proportions of them The which I was willing to add at the end of the Chapter of this Dorick Column according to promise made in the first Chapter of the Tuscan Order for the benefit which I know ordinary Workmen may draw from thence for satisfaction of those which shall set them to work I purpose for the benefit of the Workman to add the same Advertisement at the end of every Chapter of each Order forasmuch as he which should have need but of two Orders of Columns as for Example of the Dorick and Ionick intending to pass over the other if it were not described but at the end of the first Chapter of the said first Book and at the end of the second according to my said promise by this means the said Workmen would be frustrated if they had not recourse to the said foregoing Chapters as also my self of the desire that I have to instruct them to do rightly according to the curious path of searching out of Measures which the good antient Architects have taken the pains to find out in the said Columns to bring them to the perfection of their excellent Beauty for adorning of the stateliest Temples and magnificent places which may be built and which could not heretofore be forecast nor projected A New Treatise of the IONICK ORDER VVithout the PEDESTAL CHAP. III. THE third Column named Ionick without its Pedestal is made after the likeness of a Woman The total height of the which noted A shall be divided into seven parts of the which one part noted by the Italian A shall be divided into twenty two parts which is the whole largeness of the Plinth below which twenty two parts there shall be left to each side of the said Plinth three parts for its Projecture together with the Base of the said Column the 16 parts remaining are for the thickness of the body of the Column noted B the height of which with the Base and Capital hath eight times the thickness of the Column below The Base noted C hath the half height of the body which is divided into three parts whereof one is the height of the said Plinth
Column below and is divided into three parts whereof the Fillet containeth one part and the Boultin two the Projecture is equal to the height the body of this Colum noted C hath such diminishing as appeareth in the figure of the first Ionick and is fluted as you may see in the second Ionick But the lower third part of the height of it is round as may be seen in this figure After the Capital followeth the Architrave noted H being of the same height with the Base whereof the seventh part is the Simatum which is divided into three parts whereof the Fillet shall have one part the Sima two the rest of the Architrave divide into twelve parts whereof three parts are allowed to the lower Fascia four to the middle Fascia and five to the upper Fascia The eighth part of the upper Fascia is for the Bead under the said Fascia likewise the eighth part of the lesser Fascia maketh its Bead under it and hath such projecture as the figure sheweth The Friese followeth noted I and is made in this manner Divide the Architrave into four parts five such shall be the height of the Friese The eighth part of the Friese is the Simatum which divide into three parts whereof the Fillet hath one third and the Sima two thirds After the Sima is the Teeth and Dentiles noted K which with its Fillet is as high as the lesser Fascia of the Architrave which is noted with a Cross containing therein its Astragals The Fillet upon the Teeth and Dentiles containeth the seventh part of the height therein and hath as much projecture as height The Teeth and Dentiles have in breadth half the height and the space between two is two thirds of their breadth Over the Teeth and Dentiles is set the Boultin noted L which must be as high as the lower Fascia of the Architrave noted O. After followeth the Corona noted M which is as high as the lesser Fascia of the Architrave marked with a Cross as is said before Two thirds of this Corona make the Fascia and a third is for the Sima which is set upon the Fascia the which is divided into three parts two shall be for the Sima and the third for its Fillet Above the Corona is set the O. G. noted N the height of this O. G. is a seventh part greater then the lesser Fascia of the Architrave and this said seventh part is the Fillet above the O. G. and the Projecture is in a square also the whole Cornish must project in a square adding thereto two Quadrants of a Fillet and doing this you have finished the Symmetry and proportion of the Column according as the most Antient Architects were accustomed both at Corinth Rome Venice and other places The Reader and Curious Artist may see at large in the page following the great Capital being on the side of the great Base enriched a Pourtract containing the Architrave Friese and Cornish in a great proportion agreeable to the said Base and Capital heretofore mentioned noted S and other pieces that is two impost above its great Base a Profile of the Corinthian Volute and under props of the said Order in a small proportion The Antiquity of the Corinthian Column without its Pedestal THis fourth sort of Column named the Corinthian imitates the shape of a fair and comely Virgin neatly adorned and cloathed with rich Ornaments It would not be fitting to forget the antiquity thereof and especially its Capital which was found out by an excellent and one of the antientest Architects named Callimachus who for his skill in buildings and works of Marble was accounted amongst the Athenians most excellent And to come to the antiquity of the said Capital and the invention thereof it is to be noted that in the City of Corinth there was a Maid of Age marriageable who hapned to be taken with a sickness of which she died Whereupon her Nurse or Keeper conceived such grief and sadness of heart as well for the love that she bore to her living as to see her so to fail in that flourishing Age adorned with so excellent Beautie and Virtues that every time that this good Matron and Governess hapned to find any piece of the Works wherewith this young Beauty was accustomed to busie her self the same did bring into her mind all the griefs and bitterness passed seeing the which she was constrained for a remedy thereof and to defend her self from the same Audient at least of so sad a life to gather together all the said Works and Implements with which the said Maid was accustomed to busie her self which she put in a Wicker Basket covered with a Tile the which she caused to be put on the top of the Grave of the said Virgin And by chance there was found under the Basket the Root of Acanthus the which being loaded with the weight aforesaid began at the Spring time to bud forth and seek a place to put forth its Sprouts and Leaves in such manner as the Branches were compelled to bend and crook themselves downward in manner of the Volute at which the said Callimachus took great delight and pleasure to see the novelty of this Herb and took thereby a Pattern to enrich the said Column and its Capital for to use it in the City of Corinth to the which he gave most excellent Symmetry and Proportion as one may see by the Pourtracts and Delineations of the said Column and Capital here set forth An Advertisement for ordinary Workmen having only the Hand-practice and Use of the Rule and Compasses FOR the more ample understanding of ordinary Workmen to help themselves by the said Measures to erect Columns or Pilasters either for the adorning of Fronts Poarches Gates Windows Garret-lights or other chief Works which they would enrich with Columns or Pilasters taking notice of the two sides of one of the Columns hereafter set forth of the said first Corinthian Order as also likewise of others following either of the Corinthian with Pedestal or the Composite that is of those that are void of Figures and Characters to bring them to their apparent and exact Perfection he shall see on the sides of them two Perpendicular Lines and Parallels the one of which being on the left side of the said Corinthian without Pedestal noted T. V. in its two ends and that on the right side with X. Y. each of them being divided into fifteen equal parts supposing each of these parts for a foot and each of the said feet divided into twelve little Points to shew the twelve inches which the lawful foot ought to contain one of the which inches may be divided into six or into twelve other parts that by this means more exactly may be seen the Proportions and Measures of the said Columns by the means of which feet and inches contained in the said two Perpendicular Lines and Parallels laying a Rule upon the said two Perpendiculars traversing
each of the figures contained in the one and the other of the said Perpendiculars beginning below at the Base two inches under the figure 1 in the said two Perpendicular Lines drawn from the twelve points which the said foot containeth marked with the said 1 there will remain for the height of the said Base of the Column ten inches at fifteen feet of height the said Column containing its Base and Capital only the which the said Artist continuing ascending towards the top and Cornish of the said Column shall find the measures of all the particular Members of the Column as if the said perpendicular lines did begin from the end of the said Cornish tending downwards as he shall also do in all other heights of Columns proposed of the like Order without changing the Portract changing only other lines perpendicular as if instead of fifteen feet which we have supposed for Example the said Perpendicular Lines were divided by twenty parts signifying twenty feet and each foot into twelve inches as is aforesaid and consequently so of all other heights which shall be propounded to the said Workmen which have not Learning but only the practice of the Rule and Compasses they may by this means be able to help themselves by the said Pourtracts of Columns and use them to all such heights as they shall think fit without changing or defacing the Measures and Proportions of the same A New Treatise of the CORINTHIAN ORDER VVith its PEDESTAL CHAP. VI. THis Corinthian Column is very like to the former excepting the Pedestal which it hath more and likewise that its Cornishes differ from the former Corinthian which seemeth to be far more strong and firm The height of the Column noted A is divided into nine parts whereof the two first parts below shall make the height of the Pedestal which two parts being divided into 9 one shall be for the Cornish of the Pedestal and an other for the Basis the remainder divide into five parts whereof three are for the largeness of the Pedestal The Basis noted B divide into five parts whereof two shall be for the Plinth the remainder divide into four one part shall be for the lower Thorus two for the Scotia and the rest for the Astragale above the Scotia whereof the Fillet hath the third the fifth part of the Scotia is the Fillet above the Thorus the Projecture is the sixth part of the largeness of the Pedestal the Projecture of the Members remaining is such as this Figure sheweth it and as it is more fully declared in the Basis of the Pedestal being in a greater proportion on the other side noted O in the middle and below the Plinth of the said Basis The Cornish of the Pedestal noted C divide into two parts the upper part shall be the Fascia together with the Simatum divided into three one part is for the Simatum the two other parts shall be for the Corona the second and lower part divide into four whereof the fourth part shall be for the Scotia the three parts remaining divide in two the first part of the two shall make the Fascia above the Simatum the third of which shall be allowed for its Fillet and the other half shall be the Boultin under the Fascia or Corona the projecture of the Cornish is as the projecture of the Basis that is of one Quadrat Upon the Pedestal is placed the Column with its Base and Capital which divide in this manner The whole largeness of the Pedestal into six four shall make the thickness of the Column and on each side remaineth one part for the projecture of the Base The Column together with its Base and Capital noted D hath nine times in height the thickness of the Column below The Base of the Column noted E hath in height the half Diameter of the thickness of the Column below the height of the which divided into four parts one of them shall be the Plinth the three parts which remain divide into five whereof one part shall be the upper Thorus divide afterwards one of these five parts into four parts and 5 such parts shall be the lower Thorus upon the Plinth the space between the two Thorus's divide into twelve parts two shall make the two Astragals of the middle the half of the one of them maketh the Fillet under the upper Thorus one other half maketh the Fillet or Girt above the Astragale the other half maketh the Fillet under the Astragales The Base being on the right side of the present in a great Volumn differeth in nothing from the present but in the Plinth which beareth the third of the Diameter thereof whereas the other beareth but a fourth the Fillet above the Base of the Column where you see the twelve parts is made after this manner Divide the Diameter of the Column below noted F into twelve parts to each side one part this is the diminishing of the Column one half is the height of the Fillet and must project one whole part the Projecture of the other Members is shewed in the Base of the first Corinthian Column which is in a great form on the left side of the same noted O. On the Column is set the Capital noted G which is as high as the Diameter of the Column below The height of the said Capital is divided as may be seen in the great Capital on the left side noted P over the Rose in the midst of the Abacus The Volutes and Leaves are made according to the Declaration of the figure of the said Capital and are more fully declared in the figure of the great Capital noted R over the Rose of its Abacus being on the right side of the great Base enriched declared at the end of the Chapter of the first Corinthian Column without a Pedestal Under the Capital is the Astragale noted H which hath in height one twelfth part of the largeness of the Column below the which being divided into three you shall allow one part for the Fillet and two parts for the Astragale the Projecture is agreeable to the height the diminishing of the Column as that of the first Ionick Column in the third Chapter of the Book This Pillar may be fluted as the Ionick or as the first Corinthian as it is noted in the Ichnography of the said great Capital of the first Ionick Column noted upon its Abacus N the said Capital being on the right side of the great Ionick Base enriched in the third Chapter of the Book Upon the Capital is set the Architrave Friese and Cornish its height is the fourth part of the height of the Column and is made in this manner Divide the fourth part into ten parts allow the Architrave three parts the Friese three parts the Cornish four parts One seventh part of the Architrave noted I maketh the Simatum the rest divide into twelve parts whereof the lower Fascia shall have three
