1907Athenæum 30 Mar. 389/2 The use of the pulvino to enable a thick wall above to be carried on the comparatively slender diameter of the classic column. 1910G. McN. Rushforth tr. Rivoira's Lombardic Archit. I. i. 8 The capitals..supported pulvins (‘pulvini’) or impost blocks, marked with crosses. Ibid. 12 From Ravenna and Naples the pulvin spread over Italy and beyond. Ibid. II. vi. 300 The corbel pulvins with rudely curled ends..are derived from the crutch-shaped pulvins, a Lombard creation of the Xth century. 1913T. G. Jackson Byzantine & Romanesque Archit. I. iv. 52 On the capital they placed a block of stone spreading upwards from the width of the column where it rested on the abacus, to the width of the wall above, and from the top of this stone they sprang their arch, of the full thickness of the wall. This dosseret, pulvino, or impost block is an entirely novel feature. Ibid. xi. 171 It is difficult to follow him in claiming the invention of the pulvino for Ravenna on the strength of its use in the church of S. Giov. Evangelista in 425; for he assigns the same date to the much more important Eski Djourna at Salonica where the pulvino is thoroughly developed. 1933J. A. Hamilton Byzantine Archit. & Decoration ii. 26 Constructive reasons led to the introduction of the impost (pulvino: dosseret) above the capital...
