$H Jube. Architecture
|
(Arch.) A term applied to the =
rood‑loft
(q.v.) or gallery of a church. It is derived from the fact that the words=
jube domine =
benedicere were pronounced from the jube by the officiating priest before the reading o=
f the
lessons in the Catholic service.(1891a1) |
$H Jubé.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> Architect= ure

cture of
carved stone‑work, separating the chancel from the choir in a churc=
h.
From this position the daily lessons were chanted, preceded by the words
"Jube,
Domine, benedicere;"
hence its name. In English it is called indifferently, the rood‑lof=

holy‑loft, rood‑screen, or jubé.(1883m1) |

$H Judas Iscariot.
|
Throughout the Middl=
e Ages
the apostle who betrayed Christ was regarded with execration, as the type=
of
infamy and brutality, and countless legends were invented to illustrate t=
he
infamy of his nature. He is never represented alone in art, but when he
occurs in such scenes as the last supper or the betrayal he is a person w=
ith
a scowling expression of face. He never wears the aureole like the other
apostles, and he is habited in a robe of yellow, which colour
has in consequence been regarded in some Catholic countries with
disgust.(1891a1) |

$H Jug. Pottery
|
(Pot.) An earthenwar=
e vessel
of simple form, with one handle and a beak from which liquids are poured.=
It
is a noticeable fact that the jug has retained a uniform shape in all
countries and all ages, this shape no doubt being suggested by considerat=
ions
of practical convenience. The first three illustrations we give represent
Egyptian jugs, which as far as their form is concerned might be modern
English. Of the other two cuts the one is a metal jug of oriental
workmanship, the second an earthenware jug of =
strong
outline, such as is in common use. 2 ILLUS. <=
