J. M. von Mauch · The Tuscan Order
Plate 27. Tuscan Order by Scamozzi
Scamozzi, in comparison with the other masters, has made this order, as also his remaining orders, the most elaborate. He has multiplied the members and has indicated projecting blocks in the frieze which have a similarity to triglyphs, but has left them smooth and placed them only over each column. He shows the capital in different designs. The column which is half a diameter longer and has a taper of 3 parts more than that of Vignola seems a little too slender.
Public-domain text (1910), transcribed from the archive.org OCR of the Architectural Reprint edition and cleaned for reading: line-end hyphens rejoined, running heads, page numbers and the German and French captions engraved on the plates removed, and obvious misreadings corrected. Fractions the scan does not show legibly are marked […]; words lost at a page edge are restored in [brackets]. The nomenclature lists of Plates 23, 24, 29, 49, 75 and 82 are set as running text. Mauch’s plates (from his German edition of 1845) are not reproduced; the live figures are this book’s own.
