Transverse rib A transverse rib (French: "arc doubleau" ) is the term in architecture given to the rib of a rib vault which is carried across the nave, dividing the same into bays. Although as a rule it was sunk in the barrel vault of the "thermae", it is found occasionally below it, as in the Piscina at Baiae and the so-called Baths of Diana (Nymphaeum) at Nîmes. In the Romanesque and Gothic styles it becomes the principal feature of the vault, so much so that Scott termed it the "master rib".

Sagrestia Vecchia The Sagrestia Vecchia, or Old Sacristy, is a Christian building in Florence, Italy, one of the most important monuments of the early Italian Renaissance architecture.

Designed by Filippo Brunelleschi and paid for by the Medici family, who also used it for their tombs, it set the tone for the development of a new style of architecture that was built around proportion, the unity of elements, and the use of the classical orders. The space came to be called the “Old Sacristy” after a new one was begun in 1510 on the other side of S. Lorenzo’s transept.

Altımermer Altımermer is a quarter located in the European part of Istanbul, Turkey. It is located in the western part of the district of Fatih (the walled city). Although it is difficult to define exactly its boundary, Altımermer lies between the neighborhoods ("mahalleler") of "Kocamustafapaşa" and "Seyyid Ömer". The main axis of the quarter, "Altımermer Caddesi", stretches between the neighborhoods of "Kocamustafapaşa" and "Sayyidina Umar". The name of the quarter, "six marbles" in English, comes from the broken fragments of a fallen Byzantine column which during the Ottoman period were supposed to have magic properties. In this quarter was built between the 5th and the 6th century the Cistern of Mocius, the largest water reservoir in Constantinople, known since the Ottoman period as the "Altımermer Çukurbostanı" ("the sunken garden of Altımermer", since it was used as vegetable garden), and now turned into the education park of Fatih.

The text has strong similarities to the "Epistle of Eugnostos", which is also found in the Nag Hammadi codices, but with a Christian framing added, and expanding it somewhat.
