What reading level is Study of the Orders book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In place of the sloping opening and architrave, narrower at the top than at the bottom and rarely ornamented with carving, we find a large, rectangular opening with perpendicular jambs orna- mented on their face by a Classic archivolt with elab- orately carved mouldings, and surmounted w i t h a frieze having a plain, curved surface and a cornice of considerable proje c t i o n . The mouldings are of a good type of Roman sec- tion, and the carving is un- usually appropriate in char- acter to th...eir outlines. The opening is filled with an elaborate screen of Classic pilasters, grilles, and doors, all of bronze. This metal work probably was origin- ally plated in gold, and is one of the best-preserved specimens of Ronlan detail that has come down to us. Fig. 139. This elaborate doorway lies at the rear of the deep Corinthian portico on the front of the build- ing, and forms the main entrance to the circular rotunda of the interior. See Plate LVIII (Page 367) .
ROMAN WINDOWS AT CORA CONSOLE Roman window openings are, in earlier buildings, quite closely copied from Greek models, although in work of the true Roman period, such as the Temple of Vesta at Tivoli, the mouldings themselves are Roman in their section outline.
