Tabernacle[edit]

The article could use some clarification about the word "tabernacle," which it identifies as a Biblical term. In modern English, yes, agreed, "tabernacle" strongly evokes the Biblical. The word itself, however, is classical Latin, tabernaculum, and was in use for a particular structure that was part of ancient Roman ritual long before the Bible was translated into Latin, and long before the New Testament existed. See Glossary of ancient Roman religion#auguraculum (to which it is functionally and closely related). The article tabernacle gives the Hebrew and is clearer on this point.

Post-Renaissance classicism[edit]

Since this paragraph covers archetectural aediculae, may I suggest adding window surrounds to door surrounds. I came looking for this definition because of a paragraph using "aedicular windows" found in the article on the John Henry Hammond House. John Sinclair (talk) 23:45, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
