The Temple of Solomon, 1596. 'Orientalis facies substructionis ab imis vallibus cubitos trecentos erectae ad sustinendos aggeres quibus atriorum temple aream Salomon laxandam curavit nec non periboli atque porticuum quae ad hebraeos quaeque ad gentiles pertine[?] sub minima cubitorum mensura qua etiam universalia vestigial dimetiuntur'. (The eastern face of the substructure, erected three hundred cubits from the lowest valleys, was used to support the embankments with which Solomon took care to widen the area of the temple courts, as well as the perimeter and porticoes, which belonged to the Hebrews and which belonged to the Gentiles,[?] under the smallest cubit measure by which even universal vestigial things are measured). From " Ezechielem explanationes et apparatus urbis ac templi Hierosolymitani" (Ezekiel's explanations and preparations for the city and temple of Jerusalem), by Jeronimo Prado. [Rome, 1596]
