The Explication Of the Fifth Table

This contains the Proportions of the Tuscan Order. AA is the Base of the Column, which has for its height the first Semidiameter of the Column: It’s divided into two equal parts; that below is for the Plinth, marked I; that above, marked K, is for the Thorus, and for the Congè or Apophygis. BB is the Capital, which height is equal to its Base: It’s divided into three; the first marked L, is for the Gorge, with the Congè and the Astragal; the second, marked M, is for the Echinus or quarter-round; the third, marked N, is for the Plinthus or Abacus, called by the French Tallor. C is one of the Faces of the Sabliers which serve instead of an Architrave. EE is the under part of the Sabliers, which answers to the Diameter on the top of the Column, marked D. F is a Tenon shaped like a Swallows Tayl, which joyns the two Sabliers together. G is the little Wall which serves for a Frize. H is the Cornice.
