Mandaloun
The mandaloun ((アラビア語:مندلون)) is a term given to a type of mullioned window. The mandaloun is an element of the traditional architecture of Lebanon that first appeared in the 17th-century stately mansions and later in the vernacular houses of the mountains of Lebanon.〔Kfoury 1999, pp. 24–25〕〔Yacoub 2003, p. 1081〕
==Etymology==
The term ''mandaloun'' is of unknown origin and does not derive from any Arabic verbal root. Friedrich Ragette, an author of a book on Lebanese architecture, indicates an Italian origin and links the term to the Italian ''mandolino'', a musical instrument in the lute family. Ragette inferred that the mandaloun's disposition and location was favorable to the instrument player thus the naming.〔Kfoury 1999, p. 24〕 This theory is reinforced by the fact that Italian was the most widely spoken foreign language by the notables as remarked by Gerard de Nerval in his 1851 voyage account, ''Voyage en Orient''.
Le prince me parla longtemps de sa famille, des voyages que son grand-père avait faits en Europe et des honneurs qu'il y avait obtenus. Il s'exprimait fort bien en italien, comme la plupart des émirs et des cheiks du Liban...〔Nerval 1851, p. 15〕
