abacus


Значение термина abacus в knolik


abacus - Abacus
abacus - Architectural term for the uppermost member of the capital of a column. In an isolated column it might be round, or square, or polygonal, but in columns carrying an entablature it was rectangular except in columns of the Ionic order, in which it was slightly scalloped to cover the corner volutes. Examples of such variations from the rectangular form occur in the Erechtheum and the Mausoleum. Medieval builders modified the abacus. In French Gothic it is mostly square; in Early English, circular; though at Canterbury, where French influence is obvious, it is square. See Architecture.
