CORINTHIAN ORDERS AND COMPOSITE�
  These last two Orders paroilfent trailfpof�s as we have already seen in Scammozzi's Table of Proportions, with this reference that Palladio had the real delfein de foumet.
. tr� the Corinthian at the Compofite, that is, the proportions he gave to the Fourth & Fifth Orders make them fufceptible to be �l�v�s one after the other.
Qu�on gives me pause for thought; everyone agrees
starting with the Tofcan to the Corinthian, all those
Orders are fucceffively higher & more decorated; that efi: inconteftable. It must still be granted that IF. Corinthian is the richest, & that by the place Palladio deflects from it, it is necessary to
to remove from him the most precious ornaments to furnish him with the Com. pofitc which is only an imitation of the Corinthian & Ionic. This dependency can establish that if he �ft one of the two Orders is to be taken away from him.
� to facrify to avoid the other one, it must be the copy rather than the
the original. It eft- therefore- p'ropos that the Compofi. take the place of the Corinthian, & hold the middle between! 'Order that precedes it & this one.

The most suitable way to do this, whether singly or in pairs, is for these Orders to believe that they are unique, and that they have been raised one after the other; this faculty is certainly a further step, in the context of history, which, until now, has not been able to guarantee many irregularities, as has been shown above.
