proto-. Primitive, first, early, or precursor of something. Proto-
Doric was an early primitive harbinger of the Doric
Order, as in the rock-cut tombs at Beni-Hasan, Egypt (
c.2133–1786 bc). Proto-
Ionic refers to precursors of aspects of the Ionic
Order, especially the
Aeolic type of
capital and certain features from Mesopotamia. Proto-
Romanesque is a term embracing various round-arched styles that evolved from
Early Christian and
Byzantine exemplars including
Carolingian,
Lombardic, and
Ottonian architecture. Proto-
Renaissance was a late-C11 style in which
Antique elements were copied: examples include the
baptistery, Church of San Miniato, and Santi Apostoli, Florence, and the late-C13
façades of Cività Castellana Cathedral and San Lorenzo fuori le Mura, Rome.
