PLiny being witnesse, saith it is an ancient sort of Columne for the Tusci are reported to haue their beginnings of the Greekes: Wherefore for the most part it a­greeth with the Doricke: But the Architector thinketh this was made of Tuscanus, who is repor­ted to bee generall Author of the Germaines: But the Tuscan is the strongest of them all, hauing the first place in order: Therefore maruaile not that the Stilobata of this Tuscan doth want the parts of the Cimatium: for séeing it is strong, and may haue vse in great buildings, Fortes, Castles, and Towers, &c. whereby it may take vplesse roome, and to the end it may be no hinderance to carria­ges in or out.

The whole height of this Pil­lar, diuide in 9 parts, giue 2 of those parts to Stilobata with Basis and the vpper Cimatium: di­uide these two parts into sixe, as appeareth on the right side of Stilobata, one of the sixe parts is for Basis Cimatium, one other to Stilobata Cimatium divided into 6 parts, the foure remaining ma­keth the square of the great Basse, crossed with two Diagonal lines: In this great square is made a Circle, and looke where the Cir­cle crosseth the Diagonall lynes, there make another Square: in which square you shall make an other Circle, whose circumference shall touch the side of the said Square, being the thicknesse of Scapi Cimatium, and the space betweene the two Squares, shall bee for the standing forth of the foresaid Scapi Cimatium: The last Square spoken of, diuided into eight parts: giue six of those parts to another Circle, which is the bignesse of Scapi at Tenia or top of the Pillar.

The great Square Basis at Ci­matium, diuide into seven parts, giue one of the Projectura of Ba­sis Cimatium, as appeareth on the left side, which also maketh the hight of Cimatium before spoken on the right side in two equall parts: one of these parts diuide in foure, giue the last of the foure to Regula Basis: the first of the foure diuide in two, one of which parts is for the small Regula vn­der Sima or Lisis: then Sima it selfe will be made in a true Square.

For Stilobata Cimatium diuide in foure parts, one wherof giue Sima, two other to Plinthus, the last fourth part diuide into three, giue two for Astragulus, and the other two for Regula.

For Scapi Cimatium, standing vpon Stilobata, whose height be­ing one Modulus of the Pillar, diuide in two parts, as appeareth on the right side of Scapi Cimati­um, one of which parts is for [...]h [...]th [...]s, the other part diuide in three, giue Torus two, Regula one.

The height of Scapus being 6 times the thicknesse of the Pillar which is Scapi Cimatium and Ca­pitall, as may be perceiued on the right side: The Capitall shall be the same Modulus as is Scapi Ci­matium: which Modulus diuide in three parts, one of which parts giue Abacus, another to Echinus, whose fourth part maketh Regula vnder Echinus: the last third part of Hypotrachelium: which part of Hypotrachelium diuide in two, marked with ✚, one of these parts giue to Tenia: that part of Tenia diuide in three, giue two to Astragulus, the third to Regula, one eight part of the thicknesse of Scapus shall be the Projectura of the Capitall, and Tenia must be made in a true square.

Epistilium vpon the Capitall, being the same Modulus, diuide in sixe parts appearing on the right side: giue one part to Sima being made true Square: Now for the left side, diuide that one part of Sima in three, giue one of those to Regula aboue Sima, the other fiue diuide in nine, giue parts to the higher Facia, and foure to the low­er Facia.

Zophorus standeth vpon Epi­stilium, and is of the same height. The great Trabeatio standeth vp­on Zophorus of the same height also: so that from the top of the Capitall to the highest part of Trabeatio is three euen parts, such as is Scapi Cimatium, and his Projectura shal be as much as is one of those parts.

Trabeatio diuide in fours parts, the first of those diuide in three parts, giue one to Regula, and two to Sima: giue two other of those foure parts to Corona: and the last foure parts diuide againe into foure, giue three to Torus, and one▪ to Regula, as appeareth on the right side.

Corona which containeth two parts in height, and of the same Projectura diuide in eleuen, giue two to Regula, and one to Canati­culus, as appeareth on the left side three of these may bee taken for the bredth, and three such parts for the depth.

The Contractura of Scapus, you may make after this manner, di­uide the Pillar into sixe parts, be­twéene Tenia and Scapi Cimati­um, vpon the second lower part, being the third part of his height: make a circle to y^e outward part of Scapus, and looke where the cir­cle crosseth y^e pricked line of one eight part of Scapus diuide in foure parts vpon the side of the said circle, and drawing lines straight from side to side of y^e said circle, the lines are brought up to Tenia for his Entasis. This de­scription of Tuscana hath iust pro­portion in all parts which y^e Ro­mans and Venetians vse.

THe first and ancient Co­lumnes called Dorica, ta­king beginning of Dorus, Prince of Achaia and Poloponnesus, buil­ding a Church after that order at Argos, and in other Cities of A­chai [...], when true proportion and reason was not knowne, after­wards the Athenians making war vppon Asia, chosing for Cap­taine IONVS the sonne of Xuthus, whom Car [...]a called that after their Captaines name: erecting Tem­ples to their Gods, began first with Apollos Temple, and buil­ding one in Achaia, called that Do­rica, because being the first of that order in the citties Doricon: when they would haue placed those Co­lumnes in that Temple, hauing ne [...] true proportion, and seeking by all meanes they might bring it to pa [...]r, and fittest to beare the burthen, with allowable strength, measuring the foot of a strong fa­shioned man, & finding his height, fixe times the length of his foote, by that measure finished all the parts of this Pillar, for the Tem­ple of Apollo.

The whole height diuide in S parts appearing on the left side: giue 2 of those parts for the height of Scilobata, and the 2 parts diuide in 3 other parts, appea­ring on the right side of Stilobata: one of these parts shall bee the thicknesse of Scapus, and 7 such parts shal be the height of the said Pillar with Scapi Cimatium and Capitall, and so Scapus with Sti­lobata consisteth of 10 even parts.

The thicknesse of Scapus diuide in 4 parts, marked with a ✚, 2 of these being ioyned with Stilobata maketh the bredth of 6 euen parts 2 such other ioyned to Stilobata, maketh the whole bredth, 8 parts maketh with B. 2.

The height of Stilobata on the left side, diuide in 7 parts, giue one to the upper Cimatium, ano­ther to Basis Cimatium of the o­ther 5 parts, a square being made in the bredth of Stilobata.

Basis Cimatium on the right side diuide into two parts, giue one to Plinthus: diuide the other in three parts, giue 2 to Torus, and one to Regula, Basis Cimatium and the left side diuide in 2 parts, giue one to Plinthus, the other diuide in 2 parts, giue one to the lower To­rus: diuide th [...] other in 3 parts, giue two to the higher Torus, and one to Regula, the Proiectura may be made square: the Proiectura of both the Cimatium containeth the sixt part of the bredth of Stilobata,

Stilobata Cimatium on the right side, diuide in 5 parts, giue one to Astraguls, 2 for Lisis, and the o­ther two to Plinthus.

Stilobata Cimotium on the left side diuide in 4 parts, giue one to Astragulus, two for Lisis, the last for Plinthus.

Scapi Cimatium standing upon Stilobata being one Modulus, di­uide in 3 parts, giue on to Plin­thus, the 2 other diuide in 4 parts, giue one to the higher Torus, di­uide these 3 parts in 2, giue one

[Page]to the lower Torus, the other diuide in 7 taking one of these for the lower Regula, another for the higher Regula, the 5 remaining giue Trochitus: the Regula of Scapus is made of the 28 part thereof, and is Projectura square. The Contractura of Scapus spo­ken in Tuscan.

Capitall standing on the top of Scapus, being the same Modulus of Scapi Cimatium on the left side, diuide in 3 parts, giue 1 to Zo­phorus, 2 to Echinus, the third to Quadra, the halfe to Zophorus giue Tenia, or top of Scapus: the lower 3 parts of Echinus shall be for Anulas: In like manner the third part of Quadra gaue Sima & Regula, so that euery Projectura may shew it selfe.

Epistilium standing vpon the Capitall being the same Modulus, diuide in 7 parts, on the left side giue one to Tenia, and is fitting euer asmuch as the Contractura of Scapus.

Zophorus standing vpon Epi­stilium, containeth of 3 such parts as Epistilium hath 2, one of those 3 parts of Zophorus diuide in 3, giue one of those to Regula aboue the Trigliphus, which may bee made after this manner: diuide the height from Epistilium to the higher Regula before spoken of in 3 parts: 2 of those parts shall be the bredth of Trigliphus: one of these parts diuide in 6, giue one to Facia, 2 to Plinthus, 2 to Simi­canolicola: the thicknes expressed in the figure marked with •x vn­der Trigliphus, there are 6 Gut­ta, the bredth of these being y^e sixt part of Epistilium: the Regula from whence they hang, is the fourth part of one Gutta.

Coronix standing vpon Zo­phorus, the same height of Episti­liū, which diuide in 2 parts: the 1 whereof diuide in 4, giue one to y^e lower Sima, 2 to Coronix, y^e last 4 part to y^e Sima aboue, Coronix, the other of those parts giue the great Sima, which djuide in 7, giue one to Regula aboue Sima.

Now the measures on the right side, from the top of the capitall to the highest part of Trabeationes, may be thus dispatched: diuide Epistilium in 3 parts, foure such parts giue Zophorus, 4 more to Coronix, so that Epistilium Zo­phorus and Coronix containe of 11 parts.

Zophorus diuide in 10 parts, giue one to Regula aboue the Tri­gliphus, the height of Cororix di­uide in 9 parts, 2 giue to the two Facia, one to Echinus, 2 to Mutili, 2 to Corona, & 2 to Sima: the Mu­tily diuide in 3 parts, giue the small Sima aboue the Mutili one part, and so for Sima aboue Coro­na: the 2 lower parts giuen to Facia diuide in sixe, giue 2 to the lower Facia, and 3 to the higher Facia, and the last to Regula vn­der Echinus.

Mutili is made in this manner, Echinus diuide in 6 parts, from the middle Columne to the out­ward part of the Capitall, giue 2 of those parts to Mutilus, 3 such parts betweene the Mutilus, all o­ther parts bee made square. If you would round the colunme to make 24 Canalicolis you shall make them in that manner set.

AFterward they builded the Temple of Di [...]na, seeking a new Sinnetry for that Temple, and fashioned the iust measure of a woman, that it should be more beautifull and slender, making eight Diameters for her height, and put Basis Spira for her foote: her head and haire which trussed up with a lace on every side: then set Voluta for the pleates of her garments: they adrned Canali­coli & Striaes: so they found out the invention of the Collumnes by two differences: the one after mans shape, without fashion or shew: the other with womans subtilty with fashion and iust proportion: This went forward with wisedome, & cunning iudge­ments, and they added another diameter to Dorica going before, and made him seven Diameters in height, and eight Diameters to Ionica: but that which y^e Iones made first is called Ionicum.

The height of this Pillar di­vide in seven parts, as appea­reth on the left side: divide one of those parts in 22, which is the bredth of the lower Plinthus give 16 of those parts to the thicknes of Scapus, and the other sixe for the Projectura of Basis Cimatium, three parts on either side.

The height of Scapus, with his Cimatium & Capitall, consisteth of 8 Diameters, as appeareth on the right side.

Basis being a Modulus of Sea­pus, divide in three parts, give 1 of those parts to Plinthus, the o­ther 12 parts divide in 7, give 3 of those to the higher Torus, the foure remaining divide in 8. give two of those parts to the double Astragulus in the middle, halfe one of those parts for Re­gula, and the rest to Trochilus, as appeareth on the right side, marked with 3.

The Regula of the Pillar be­ing put to Torus, is the 24 part of Scapus, & the Contractura of Sca­pus is the 12 part, as in the ground plat of Cimatium is set downe.

The Capitall shall be declared at large in the great Capital: The Contractura of Scapus is made in this manner: divide the Pillar from Basis Cimatium unto Tenia in sixe parts, two whereof ma­keth the third part where you be­gin Contractura: upon the which

[Page]line make a halfe Circle, & looke where that Circle cutteth the 12 part of Scapus, diuide above the bowe thereof within that twelne part in foure, drawing lines from side to side of the said Circle, as appeareth: These lines being made for Contractura, & drawne to euery of these parts before di­uided, this Pillar is broken per­fectly.

Epistilium standing upon the Capitall, being the same Modu­lus of Scapus Cimatium, diuide in 7 parts: giue one part of Sima, (whose third part maketh Regu­la aboue Sima) the sive remaining diuide in twelue, giue 5 of those parts to the higher Facia, giue 4 to the middle Facia, and the thrée last to the lower Facia, appea­ring in the figure marked with a ✚

Zophorus standing upon Episti­lium of the same Modulus, di­uide in 10 parts, giue one to Si­ma under Dentilium, and is 3 parts to Regula aboue Sima, be­ing diuided on the right side.

Denticuly is of the same height of the middle Facia, marked with a ✚, and is Projectura asmuch, which diuide in sixe parts, appea­ring in the Quadranglo, giue 3 unto his bredth, the other 2 ma­keth Denticuly: which Denti­culy diuide in sixe, giue one of those to Sima, and his 3 parts maketh Regula aboue Sima.

Corona of the same height marked with the ✚, and is third part for Sima, Coronix being the highest part of the Collumne of the same measure marked with a ✚, diuide in eight parts, giue one part to Regula aboue Sima, the other 7 for Sima: If you please to garnish the Pillar with Cana­liculus, diuide the circumference into 24 parts, the fiue part of one such part maketh Stria, and the other 4 Canaliculus.

This being done, is the iust measure and proportion of this Pillar, which the most excellent Architecture, Marcus Vitruvius u­sed at Rome and Corinth.

THis Ionica made with his Sti­lobata, y^e whole hight divide in 14 parts, appearing on the left side: 3 of those parts maketh all Stilobata: divide those 3 parts in 8 appearing on the right side, give one part to the lower Cimatium, one other part to the higher Cima­tium of Stilobata: the sixe parts re­maining is for the height of Stilo­bat, and 4 for his breadth. The se­cond Cimatium on the right side, are made after this manner: Basis Cimatium divide in three parts: give 1 of those parts to Plinthus, 1 other part to Sima: which diuide in sixe parts, giue Regula vnder Sima one of those parts, Regula a­boue Sima another of those parts the other 3 part diuide in 2, giue one of those parts to Torus, the 2 to Troclilus: and the 3 part of Torus maketh the Regula vnder him; and their Proiectura bring the sixt part Stilobata.

Stilobata Cimatium on the right five diuide in 2 parts: the second diuide in 3 parts, giue 2. of those parts to Facia, & the third maketh Sima, t [...] 3 part of Sima maketh Regula aboue Sima: The first part diuide in 4 giue one of those parts to Regula vnder the lower Sima: the other 3 diuide in six parts, gi­ [...]ing one of those 6 to Regula vn­der Facia, the rest remaining giue Sima, whose Proiectura is like to Basis Cimatium.

Basis Cimatium on the left side, diuide in three parts, giue one of those to Plinthus: the other 2. di­uide in fiue: giue 3 to Sima, and 2. for [...]orus, the lower 6. part of Si­ma maketh Regula, and the higher third part of Torus is Regula, whose Proiectura and also Stilobata Cimatium, is vpon the left side be­fore spoken.

Scapi Cimatium, diuide the bredth of Stilobata in 22 parts, 16 of these parts giue the thicke­nesse of Scapus, the sixe other parts giue for the Proiectura of Scapi Ci­matium, bring 3 on each side: and 8 of those parts giue for the whole height of Scapi Cimatium: which 8 divide in 3, giue 1 part to Plin­thus, and the 2 remaining, diuide in 3 giue the last third part to To­rus: diuide the other 2 parts in 12 give 2 of those parts to the middle Astragulus, and one to Regula vn­der Torus: but halfe one of those [...] maketh Regula aboue Astra­gulus the Regula vnder Astragulus containeth of one part and Regula aboue Plinthus one halfe part: the [...]st for the 2 Trochilus, appearing by the letter H.

The Contractura of Scapus, be­ing shewed in the first Ionica, and the Capitall, shall be finished in great Capitall hereafter, whose height contriueth 8 Diameters, appearing on the right side.

Epistilium, Zophorus and Coronix standing vpon the Capitall, whose height being 2 Diameters, of the eight before spoken: so the Pillar with al his ornaments, containeth of 10 Diameters: divide those two Diameters into 10 paris, shewed on the sight side, giue 3 to Epistilium, 3 to Zophorus, and the other soure to the great Trabeatio­nes.

Those 3 parts given Epistilium, diuide in a give one part to Si­ma, [...]hose into part give Regula abo [...] Sima [...] the other fiue parts divide in 12, give 3 to the lower Facia, give 4 to the middle Facia, & 5 to the third Facia: Zophorus as before spoken, and is Eutasis taken from the Triangle, as you may see in the figure: Coronix consisteth of 4 parts, divided in sixe, giue the first to Denticulus, whose fourth part maketh Sima vnder Denticu­lus, the second giue Echinus, whose 4 part maketh Regula vnder Echi­nus, and 2 parts for Mutili: whose fift part make to Sima aboue Mu­tili, being so of high, as the bredth: giue 1 other of those parts to Co­rona, whose 3 part maketh Sima aboue Corona: the last 6 part giue the highest Sima, whose sixt part maketh Regula: the Proiectura of all Coronix is equall to his hight.

The measure on the left side, for the great Trabeationes are thus di­uided; Those 4 parts of Coronix before [...]poken, divide in eleuen parts, giue 1 to Sima, whose third part maketh Regula aboue him­selfe: giue 3 other of those parts to Denticuly and Echinus, and the 4 part of Denticuly, giue Regula vnder Echinus: and the 7 part of Echinus maketh the Regula vnder Mutili: giue 3 of those parts to Mutili, giue a for Corona, and the last 2 giue the higher Sima: which two parts divided into six, giue on to Astragulus, 3 other to Sima, the two last to Abacus: and the Proie­ctura of the Mutili is double to his height, whose 5 part maketh Sima ouer himselfe, and may be made hollow, as you see in the figure, Scapus being garnished with 24 striges.

THe third sort, having the shape of a maides slender­nesse: for Virgins by the ten­dernesse of their age, are figured with comely members, and beau­tifull in apparell: the first finding the beauty of the Capitall, was by a Maide of the Citty Corinthia, beeing mariageable, detayned with sicknesse, dyed: after whose buriall, the flowers she loued be­ing aliue, her nurse gathered, and setting them in order, brought them in a Basket to the Tombe, setting them in the highest part thereof, and that they might remaine the longer, couered them with a flat tyle or stone, from the ayre: by chance that Basket of Ofiares, she placed vpon the roote of the hearbe Acanthus, or Bear­foote: about spring time the roote of that hearbe did spread her leaves and tender stalkes, increa­sing against the side of the baket, & pressed downe with the weight of the flat tyle or stone, were com­pelled to turne themselues to the out ward parts of the flat stone. Then Calimachus, who for his witte and subtilty in the Art of working in stone, was surnamed Catatechnos, of the Athemius pas­sing by that graue, seeing the leaues growing in y^t sort, reached unto himselfe the Basket, being delighted with the strangenesse and newnesse thereof, fashioned the same for the Capitall of the Collumne, to that which he made at Corinthia. There are other Ca­pitals, which are put to these Co­lumnes of diuers sorts, which doe take beginning from Corinthia, Ionica and Dorica.

The whole height diuide in­to 8 parts, the fist part of the higher 8 part being taken away, all the measures are to bee found in the example appearing on the left side.

The first 8 part marked with the letters a, b, giue to the breath of Plinthus: which diuide in 22 parts: giue 16 of those parts to y^e thicknes of Scapus, and 8 of those parts for the Modulus of Basis Cinatium, the rest make for the Projectura, which is 3 of those parts on each side, as appeareth.

The Basis Cimatiū, with Scapus & his Capitall, shall be 9 Diame­ters in height, as appeareth in the figure on y^e lest side. The Basis Ci­matium being a Modulus of Sca­pus, diuide into 4 parts: giue the first part to Plinthus: the other threé parts diuide into 5, giue one of those parts to the higher To­rus, but the lower Torus is one fourth part more of the 5 euen Storis before spoken, higher then the vpper Torus: y^e space betwéen the two Torus, diuide into 12, giue 2 of those parts to the two Astragulus, in y^e middle, the third part of one 12 part make Regula vnder the higher Torus, and one halfe part, giue Regula aboue Astraguly

[Page]and the Regula vnder A­straguly is equall to y^e square: but Regula aboue the lower Torus, is the 2 third parts of one 12 part, the rest remaining maketh the vpper and lower Trochilus: but Regula aboue the higher Torus, is made of the 24 part of Scapus, and the 12 part is for the Contractura of Scapus, the Projectura of these diuisions marked with R.

The Capitall placed in the top of Scapus, being one Diameter in hight, diuide the same Diameter into 7, giue one of those parts, to Abacus, and his Projectura being equall to the Basse. The ground plot of the Capitall, the manner of his leaues and Voluta, shall bée handled in the great Capitall. In the end of Scapus, Tenia hath the 12 part of his height & Projectura, and his third part giue to his Regula. The Contractura of this Pillar made after the first Ioni­ca: but his Canaliculus in the manner of the last Ionica: the first third part are filled with Baculus, appearing in the figure.

Epistilium standing vpon the Capitall, being one Modulus in height, whose 7 part giue to Sima: diuide that 7 part into 3, giue one to Regula: 2 for Sima: diuide the other 6 parts into 12, giue 3 to the lower Facia, 4 to the middle Facia, 5 to the vpper Facia: also the 8 part of the vpper Facia ma­keth Astragulus vnder Facia: also the 8 part of the middle Facia ma­keth Astragulus vnder himselfe, marked with ✚, appearing in the figure: Zophorus followeth the height of Epistilium, being diui­ded into 4 parts: Fiue such parts is the height of the same Zopho­rus, which diuide into 8 parts a­boue Zophorus, giue one such part to Sima, whose third part maketh Regula aboue Sima: Den­ticulus being of the same measure of the middle Facia, marked with a ✚: his seventh part maketh Regula aboue Denticulus, and his Projectura being square, the man­ner of their opening being shew­ed in Ionica.

Echinus vpon Denticulus, whose measure is the same of the lower Facia marked with O.

The corona vpon Echinus, be­ing the same measure of the mid­dle Facia, diuide into 3 parts, giue one to Sima, whose third part ma­keth his Regula aboue Sima. The great Sima of Trabeationes equall to the middle Facia, marked with a ✚, diuide into 8, giue 1 of those to Regula aboue Sima, his Pro­iectura being square. This being the iust measure of this Pillar, the which ancient Architectures vsed at Corinthia, at Rome, at Venice and other places.

THis for proportion is like to the former, but it beareth a stronger and seemelyer shew. The whole height being divided in nine equall parts, appearing in the left side, give two parts to Stilobata, those two divide into nine shewed on the left side of Sti­lobata Cimatium: The other se­ven parts remaining, divide into five, give 3. parts for the breadth of Stilobata: the which breadth divide into sixe parts, foure of those parts give for the Diame­ter of Scapus: the two other parts remaining for the Projectura or standing foot: and two such parts give for the Projectura of Stilobata Cimatium or standing foote of the same: one of those nine parts before spoken, giuen to Basis Cimatium, which divide in­to fiue give two of the same parts to Plinthus, the remainder divide into foure, give one part to the lower Torus, two other to Sima, and his fifth part maketh Regula above Torus, and the last to Astra­gulus, which third part maketh Regula, the Projectura before spo­ken, as in the right side you may see.

The Stilobata Cimatium di­vide into two parts: the first for Facia with Sima beeing his third part, and the third part of Sima maketh Regula, the other part di­vide into foure, give one to the lower Sima: the other three di­vide in two, give one part to E­chinus, and the other part give to Facia, whose fourth part maketh Regula under Eoninus, his Pro­jectura, being the same of Sulo­bata, regard the figure.

Scapus with his S [...] Ci­matium, and Capitall, [...] nine Diameters in height [...]ewed on the left side, one Modulus of those maketh for Scapi Cimatium: whose measure before shewed in the first Corinthian pillar mar­ked with R.

The Contractura of the pillar and the measure of Tenia hath bin before taught.

The Capitall shall bee shewed at large in the great Capital. The Pillar may have Baculus, as the former Corinthian, or Ionica, with Canaliculus, Epistilium, Zo­phorus, and Coronix, placed on the top of the Capitall, being the fourth part of the height of Scapus shewed on the right side: diuide the said part into ten, give thrée to Epistilium, whose measure are before receited in the first Corin­thian: other three parts to Zo­phorus, 4. to Coronix: which last foure divide into 9, give 1. part to Sima above Zophorus: two give to Echinus: two makes Mutili: two makes Corona, and two ma­keth the higher Sima: divide E­chinus into seuen parts: two give to both the Regula: the fourth part of Mutili maketh the lesser Sima ever the same: But the fourth part of the highest Sima maketh the small Sima aboue Co­rona, but the sixt part of the grea­test Sima, maketh the highest Re­gula, the Proiectura of Coronix may be square, the Mutili shall be as broad as their height, and so far distant as they hang over.

In the left side divide Coronix into fiue parts, giue one part to Echinus, his third part maketh Regula under Echinus: two ma­keth the Mutili, one to Corona, and one to Sima: diuide the Mutili in­to eight parts, give one of those parts to the one part of Corona: whose third part maketh Sima o­uer Corona. The Facia of the Mutili shall bee square in hight, breadth, & thicknes, the distance shal be such that the square of Co­rona may stand betweene. The sixt part of the great Sima ma­keth Regula, the Projectura be­fore shewed. This Corinthian hath iust measure, and was found at Rome in the Temple named Maria Rotunda, or Panthon.

THis Pillar is com­prehended of all the rest, and the best of their ornaments adorneth the same, his height divide into 13. parts: on the right side, give three to Stilobata, divide those three parts into ten: one part for Basis Cimatium, and the other part for Stilobata Cimatium: foure other of those parts give to the breadth of Stilo­bata: the sixt part whereof is for the Projectura of the Basis, and foure such parts for the thicknesse of Scapus, whose Projectura is equal to Stilobata, being of the whole sixe parts: Basis Ci­matium divide into seven, give two unto Plinthus, two unto Torus, two to Sima: which two parts divide into sixe: give one to Regula under Sima, and one other of those to Regula over Sima: one other of the seven parts give Trochilus: & the last seventh part to Astragulus, whose third part ma­keth Regula under Astragulus: but the higher Regula of Stilobata, hath halfe the breadth of Astragulus: Stilobata Cimatium, divide into five, give one to Astragulus, whose third part maketh Regula: two maketh Hypotracheli­um, which two divide into foure, one maketh Regula above himselfe: two maketh Corona: and those two divide in thrée, give one for Sima, whose third part maketh his Regula. The left side of Stilobata Cimatium, divide in sea­ven: give 1. to Astragulus, whose third part maketh Regula: two maketh Hy­potrachelium, one maketh Echinus and his third part maketh the Regula, under himselfe: two parts to Corona, and the last part to Sima, whose third part maketh Regula above himselfe. The Projectura of every one must bee square like Scapus standing on Stilo­bata, whose Diameter before spoken, his height with Scapi Cimatium, and Capicall are ten Diameters appearing on the right side.

The Contractura of Scapus, being the twelfth part of the same: The Capi­tall and Tenia is taken from the same measures of Corinthian or Jonica. The Canaliculus or Baculus may bée done in Scapus as the former Pilla [...] sheweth: the same Diameter as is un­der Tenia Epistilium being in height, and his parts and making, being taught in the former Corinthian: or as you may see on the left side of Zophorus

[Page]with his Mutili doth follow: Epistili­um being of the same Diameter, which divide into sixe parts, give one part to Sima, whose third part maketh Regu­la above Sima, the Mutili is square, and are made hollow as doth appeare in the figure, and the space betweene the square appearing on the riyht side.

Coronix of the same Diameter, which divide into two parts on the right side, give one part to Corona, the other divide into sixe parts, give one to Echinus, three maketh Sima, and two maketh Abacus: but every part of the Coronix shall be square. The measure in the left side, divide in two: the fifth of those two, divide in foure, give three parts to Corona, and one to Sima over Corona, whose third part maketh Re­gula above himselfe: the other second part, divide in seven, give 6. parts to the great Sima, and one other part to the highest Regula, & euery part made square. This Collumne being in the Amphitiater at Rome, but shewing the making of Sima, looke on the figures marked with H. M. N.
