Vitruvius divides temples into eight kinds, according to the arrangement of their columns: namely, temples in antis (see anta1 ), prostyle, am phi prostyle, peripteral, dipteral, pseudo dipteral, hypethral, and monopteral. (See these words.) In regard to intercolumniation, they are further distinguished as pycnostyle, systyle, eustyle, diastyle, and arco style structures, and in regard to the number of columns in front, as tetrastyle, hexastyle, octastyle, and decastyle. (See these words.) Circular temples are known as monopteral, with or without a cella. The temples of ancient Egypt are impre ive from their great size and from the number and ma of the pillars ordinarily introduced in their construction; those of India are remarkable for the elaboratene of their plan and elevation, and the lavishne of their sculptured decoration. See also cuts under dip teral, cella, monopteron, octastyle, pantheon, opisthodomos, and prostyle. In this connection the term "house of God" has quite a different sense from that which we connect with it when we apply it to a Christian place of worship. A temple is not a meeting-place for worshippers; for many ancient temples were open only to priests, and as a general rule the altar, which was the true place of worship, stood not within the house but before the door. The temple is the dwelling-house of the deity to which it is consecrated, whose presence is marked by a statue or other sacred symbol; and in it his sacred treasures, the gifts and tribute of his worshippers, are kept, under the charge of his attendants or priests. Encyc. Brit., XXIII. 165. 2. The religious edifice of the Jews in Jerusalem. There were three buildings succe ively erected in the same spot, and entitled, from the names of their builders, the temple of Solomon, the temple of Zerubbabel, and the temple of Herod. The first was built by Solomon, and was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar about 586 B. C. The second was built by the Jews on their return from the captivity (about 537 B. C.), and was pillaged or partially destroyed several times, as by Antiochus Epiphanes, Pompey, and Herod. The third, the largest and most magnifi cent of the three, was begun by Herod the Great, and was completely destroyed at the capture of Jerusalem by the Romans (A. D. 70). Various attempts have been made toward the restoration of the first and the third of these temples, but scholars are not agreed in respect to architectural details. The ornament and design were in any case of severe and simple character, though rich materials were used. The succe ive temples all consisted of a combination of buildings, comprising courts separated from and arising one above another, and provided also with chambers for the use of the priests and for educational purposes. The inclosure of Herod's temple covered nineteen acres. It comprised an outer court of the Gentiles, a court of the women, a court of Israel, a court of the priests, and the temple building, with the holy place, and within all - entered only once a year, and only by the high priest - the holy of holies. Within the court of the priests were the great altar and the laver, within the holy place the golden candlestick, the altar of incense, and the table for the showbread, and within the holy of holies the ark of the covenant and the mercy-seat.
