Reading edition
Ducange gives “Glorieta, ædificiolum altius, nostris gloriette.” In the Roman de Partonopex mention occurs of a finely-painted chambrette thus named. In the Statutes of Milan, also, the following clause is found: “Si quis de cætero construere vel construi facere voluerit aliquam Baltrescham, ponticellum, vel Glorietam, in ejus domo, super muro proprio vel communi, per quam immediate prospici possit in domum vicini, hoc ei liceat,” &c. Lacombe gives “Gloriette: prison, petite maison de plaisance, cabinet de verdure,” &c. A favourite resort near Dorking, commanding a fine prospect, is known as “The Glory.”
