Prima pars figuræ hujus trifariam divisæ, repræsentat elevationem geometricam lateris templi supra coronicem, & ædificii in testudine pingendi. Secunda pars complectitur arcum testudinis maximum, & elevationem geometricam faciei ejusdem ædificii. Tertia pars exhibet vestigium totius ædificii pingendi in testudine, cujus amplitudo eadem est cum amplitudine navis, ut antea dicebamus. Porrò vestigium geometricum non minus necessarium est ad pingendum ædificium, quàm ad ipsum ex materiâ solidâ extruendum, ut alibi monuimus.
