Coronix Corinthia.

Illustration from Rules and Examples of Perspective proper for Painters and Architects, etc. In English and Latin: Containing a most easie and expeditious method to delineate in perspective all designs relating to architecture

Si faciendæ sint coronices quæ habeant angulos, elevatio geometrica A repræsentabit unum latus, alterum sectio B. Curandum est autem, ut crepidines partium, quas fingere volumus incumbere columnis, non obsint concinnæ distributioni mutulorum. Ad contractionem elevationis A & sectionis B, in lineam plani EF & elevationis EG transferre oportet puncta diversarum latitudinum, quas habent in elevatione A ungues epistylii, zophori, & coronæ, ducendo ex iis lineas ad punctum oculi; in partem verò FH lineæ FE transferre oportet puncta longitudinis, ducendo lineas ad punctum distantiæ. Hac industriâ perficies utramque deformationem, quarum una geret munus vestigii, altera elevationis. Utrobique autem designabis lineas terminativas partium coronicis, ac sectionum C & D.
