The orders (orders, right?) of columns was the first list. The second list was the Trivium and the Quadrivium–IIRC, the list of subjects any well-educated medieval university student would study. I think.
OK, I’ll buy the Trivium and the Quadrivium, but there aren’t seven orders of columns. There are five classical orders of architecture (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian used in Greece, and Tuscan and Composite added by the Romans).
Baroque and Gothic are not orders and are not definitively “the other two” styles, they’ve just been added to the list above to make it into a list of seven. You could just as easily add several more.
off on an tangent here i know…but, avarice, is that similar/the same as greed or…?
Yes, greed, avarice and covetousness are all synonyms in this context.
That would be the Seven Orders of Classical Architecture and the Seven Liberal Arts.
I know nothing of columns. These names are used in some Msonic rituals and call the Seven Orders. I will accept correction as required.
I will also point out the Seven Liberal Arts would include both Football and Summer Football in most of Texas.
Seven forms of the verb ‘to be’:
[ul][li]am[/li][li]is[/li][li]are[/li][li]was[/li][li]were[/li][li]being[/li]been[/ul]
OK, but just to underline the point, Baroque isn’t an order and Gothic isn’t even classical. I do know some architects who happen to be freemasons but the terminology doesn’t cross over very well. Irony abounds.
Thank you all with putting up with my facination with lists of sevens.
I am done now.
(Although I wam willing and eager to hear more. Seven forms of “To Be?” Neato!)
(How many M&M colors are there? Humm…)
How about the Palatine, Capitoline, Aventine, Caelian, Esquiline, Viminal and Quirinal? Several cities apart from Rome also claim to be built on seven hills.
Or the seven heavens? Or the seven sacraments? There are lots of sevens in the Bible not already mentioned here (Revelation is full of them).

The Seven Brothers for whom there were Seven Brides?
The Seven Sister Colleges:
Barnard College (New York, NY) - founded in 1889, adjacent to Columbia University. In 1983 Columbia began to accept women applicants, ending Barnard’s exclusive right to enroll women undergrads.
Bryn Mawr College (Bryn Mawr, PA) - this nondenominational college counts actress Katharine Hepburn among its notable alumnae.
Mount Holyoke College (South Hadley, MA) - founded in 1837, this was the first of the Seven Sister schools, and the first institution of higher education for women in the U.S.
Radcliffe College (Cambridge, MA) - emerged in 1893 as an institution adjacent to, yet separate from, Harvard University. In the 1970s, the two schools merged and women were officially granted Harvard degrees.
Smith College (Northampton, MA) - Australian educator and author Jill Ker Conway became Smith’s first woman president in 1975.
Vassar College (Poughkeepsie, NY) - coeducational since 1969, its the first of the Seven Sisters welcome both genders. In 1989, Rick Lazio was the first Vassar grad to be elected to Congress. However, he was defeated in a recent Senate race by a Wellesley coed.
Wellesley College (Wellesley, MA) - Wellesley’s presidents have all been women, many of them Wellesley alums.

Someone care to explain the subtle difference between envy and covetousness?
Don’t I have to envy to covet? What’s the point of envying if you don’t want what the other person has?
i would have thought someone named universe.zip would know too…:rolleyes:
And I thought the 7 sins were
humility,
kindness,
abstinence,
chastity,
patience,
liberality,
diligence
I guess I’m lurking in the pit too much.
