Talk:Aedicula

Tabernacle
The article could use some clarification about the word "tabernacle," which it identifies as a Biblical term. In modern English, yes, agreed, "tabernacle" strongly evokes the Biblical. The word itself, however, is classical Latin, tabernaculum, and was in use for a particular structure that was part of ancient Roman ritual long before the Bible was translated into Latin, and long before the New Testament existed. See Glossary of ancient Roman religion (to which it is functionally and closely related). The article tabernacle gives the Hebrew and is clearer on this point.

Post-Renaissance classicism
Since this paragraph covers archetectural aediculae, may I suggest adding window surrounds to door surrounds. I came looking for this definition because of a paragraph using "aedicular windows" found in the article on the John Henry Hammond House. John Sinclair (talk) 23:45, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
