Lat. naris. ship). . term used most conunonly in connection with church architecture, and with two meanings. In the first place it denotes the higher middle division where there are three or five divisions; as in a churcli of the type estab- lished in the lifth century in the Christian basili- cas of Italy. The side divisions are called aisles, and nearly all large Christian churches have hail •three aisles;' the word aisle in this case covering nave as well. A few large buildings are five- aisled, and the Cathedral of Antwerp is a sevcn- aisle<l chiirch. but the nave is nearly always the middle and much the broadest and highest jiart. There are some churches, especially of the later (Jothic period, which have aisles and nave of the same hidght ; such are the cathedrals of Carcas- sonne and Krfurt. and of Vienna in .ustria; but the central division remains the widest and is still the nave. In the ordinary form of church, where the nave is nnich higher than the aisle, the uppermost part of it is called the clearstory, and the large windows in the clearstory walls trans- mit much the largest amount "f daylight to the interior. The same use of the term for the midilli' and widest and highest division exists in the descrip-. tion of a Roman basilica, or bath establishment (thernne; see Bath I . or any buiUling which is lighted in part by windows in the wall of a higher division rising above the roofs of the
