WHAT DOES PARVIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

parvis

Parvise

Parvise or parvis may refer to: ▪ A room over the porch of a church — quite often found in Norman churches in England. In some churches these rooms were used for school rooms and in Castle Ashby was the home of a woman - who saved the manor house from burning when she saw the fire taking hold from her room. ▪ The enclosed area or court in front of a building — particularly a building such as a cathedral or a church. In some places they are like a cloister, surrounded with either colonnades or porticoes. As a result, when applied to a single portico or colonnade in front of a church, this gives rise to the description of a church porch. The word 'parvis' derives via Old French from the Late Latin 'paradisus', meaning 'paradise'. The word 'paradise' itself comes to us, via Classical Greek and Latin, from the Indo-European languages of ancient Iran, where the meaning signified a 'walled enclosure' or garden precinct.
