Preaching theater, basilica plans, and a Latin-cross church
A central-plan auditorium with pulpit; a sacristy noted; workmen with a wheelbarrow
The page develops church architecture. At the upper right a centralized 'theater for preaching' surrounds a central pulpit with tiered semicircular seating, and below it is drawn the plan of a large basilica, part of which is labeled sacristy. In the left column a small perspective sketch of a domed church accompanies a note that the building suits the ground-plan drawn below, where a Latin-cross church plan is laid out with rows of columns. Small figures - a man seated on a step and workmen with a wheelbarrow - animate the margins.

Theater for preaching with a central pulpit
A circular plan at the upper right shows tiered, semicircular seating focused on a central pulpit, captioned a theater for preaching.
Basilica plan with sacristy
A large basilica plan is drawn with piers marked as dots; part of it is labeled sacristy, and a note ties the accompanying basilica sketch to the ground-plan shown below.
Plan of a Latin-cross church
The lower plan lays out a Latin-cross church with nave, transept, and apses, its columns indicated by rows of dots.
Workmen with a wheelbarrow
A cluster of small figures shows four workmen at work, one wheeling a barrow, sketched among the architectural studies.
