Description
A Concise Glossary of terms used in Grecian, Roman, Italian and Gothic Architecture.
John Henry Parker’s A Concise Glossary is an authoritative reference tool first published in 1846, with the 1913 edition representing a late revision. This work systematically defines the essential terminology of Western architectural history, specifically covering the vocabulary necessary to understand and classify elements within Grecian, Roman, Italian, and Gothic styles. Profusely illustrated, it was an indispensable manual for architects and students during the Gothic Revival movement.
