See also:Wedgwood (Dict. of Eng
.
Etym.) points out that the See also:mullion is " the stump of the See also:division before it breaks out into the See also:tracery of the window." In all styles, in less important work, the mullions are often
simply See also:plain chamfered, and more commonly have a See also:flat hollow an each See also:side
.
In larger buildings there is often a See also:bead or bowtel on the edge, and often a single small See also:column with a See also:capital; these are more frequent in See also:foreign work than in English
.
Instead of the bowtel they often finish with a sort of See also:double See also:ogee
.
As tracery See also:grew richer, the windows were divided by a larger See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
