Encyclopedia Britannica



MULLION (corrupted from " munnion "; this is derived from Fr. moignon, stump)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 965 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MULLION (corrupted from " munnion "; this is derived from Fr. moignon, stump) , in architecture, the
English
 
term
  for the perpendicular pieces of stone, sometimes like columns, some-times like slender piers, which
divide
  the bays or lights of windows or screen
work
  from each other; equivalents are Fr. meneau, Ital. regolo, Ger. Fensterpfoste. H. Wedgwood (Dict. of Eng. Etym.) points out that the
mullion
  is " the stump of the division before it breaks out into the
tracery
  of the window." In all styles, in less important
work
 , the mullions are often
simply plain chamfered, and more commonly have a flat hollow an each side. In larger buildings there is often a
bead
  or bowtel on the edge, and often a single small column with a
capital
 ; these are more frequent in foreign work than in
English
 . Instead of the bowtel they often finish with a sort of
double
  ogee. As
tracery
 
grew
  richer, the windows were divided by a larger order of
mullion
 , between which came a lesser or subordinate set of mullions, which ran into each other.
