The Terms given to the Feet of Col∣lumns, or Basis of Pillars.

a is the Body of the Dorick Pillar or Collumn, cut into rounds a little above the Basis.

b is the upper Torus, being a round outward.

c is the Scotia, being an half round inward.

d is the lower Torus, swelling outwards.

e is the Plinth or Zocco, being B•vile, with a flat, to which place is the Basis of a Dorick Column.

f is the Cimatia, or Cima••um of the Pedestal, which turneth in the form of an S.

g is the Da•o, Dye, (square or plain of the Pede∣stal) the Stylobatum.

h is the Annuletts or small Rings between each moulding, if two together, then dou•le Annulets. They are also by some Artists termed Cimbia, and Listel∣la, and Fillets.

i is the Corona of the Base, being made like an S wrong way.

k is the Orlo or Profile, or Plynth of the Base.

The Basis or Base of the Pillar, is so much of it as projectures the body or thickness of the Pillar or Collumn, as you may see from the place marked b to the letter e.

The Pedestal or foot of the Pillar, is as much as draweth back again, and so down till it run as much out again, that is from the Fillet of the Cimatia, mark∣ed f to the Letter k.

The small Rings (as I shewed before) between each of the mouldings are termed Annulets or Fillets, as the higher Annulet of the Torus, the lower Annu∣let of the Torus, or the Scotia with its Annulets, that is the Rings both above and below it.

LXVII. As before I have given you the Terms used by Artists for the several parts of the Basis and Pe∣destal; we shall now proceed to do the same, for the Capital or head part of the Pillar.
