A concise glossary of terms used in Grecian, Roman, Italian and Gothic architecture
A concise glossary of architectural terms by John Henry Parker, published in London in 1888, written for students and practitioners of Grecian, Roman, Italian and Gothic building. The pictures are fine line engravings of Gothic details: a pinnacle and flying buttress, a pointed lancet window with shafts, a foliate cresting, and a carved corbel, useful to a designer wanting precise medieval ornament and structure.
