L. Ross,erwiesen, Potsdam, 1847, 4to. TEMPLUM. VII. PSEUDOPERIPTERAL, HEXASTYLE, of the Ionic These were the chief normal forms of quadran-gular temples. The variations made upon them,especially by the union of two or more temples inone building, were very numerous. (See Hirt,Stieglitz, and the other authorities.) One formdeserves particular notice, inasmuch as it wascertainly very ancient, and some writers havesupposed that it contained the germs of all theother forms ; this was what Vitruvius called theTuscan Temple. (Vitruv. iv. 7.) The passage of TEMPLUM. 1109 Vitruvius is very difficult, and has been differentlyexplained. (Comp. Stieglitz and Hirt.) The fol-lowing engraving is so constructed as to contain arepresentation of the three chief forms, real or sup-posed, of the Tuscan temple.
