	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Stained Glass
		As glass at that time was to be had only in small pieces, the glazier was compelled, in order to fill the window-openings, to make his lights a mosaic, that is a combination of pieces of glass of various sizes and colours worked to a given design by placing them in juxtaposition.
		These pieces of glass had to be kept in place by some other material, and the best medium for the purpose was found to be lead, applied in strips made with lateral grooves for the reception of the edges of the glass.
		The glass composing it is very beautiful, more particularly the browns, which are rich in tone, the rubies, which are brilliant, streaked and studded with gemlike blobs of fl, and the blues, which are of a greenish azure hue, while the general colour treatment is extremely oriental.

	Stained Glass Types & Terms
		The heavily textured glass is often used as a background glass where significant optical distortion is desired, such as in bathroom windows.
		Smooth cathedral glass is often considered "one dimensional" as it has a somewhat flat look to it.
		Rough rolled cathedral glass is often used instead of smooth glass, since it has a very mild texture giving it another dimension and a very slight distortion to images seen through the glass.

		Later glass was drawn into sheets by pulling it from the melt on a rod, a method that made windows more uniform.
		The origins of the stained glass myth are unclear, but the confusion probably arose from a misunderstanding of the amorphous atomic structure of glass, in which atoms do not assume a fixed crystal structure.

	Virtual Cathedral Project: Medieval Stained Glass History
		So with the aid of the pointed arch and the flying buttress, cathedral walls were strengthened to such a degree that spaces could be cut away for larger window casements - and thereby meet the terms of Gothic's prime directive: MORE light.
		The high reaches of Gothic construction came when the architect, stonecutter, ironworker and glazier pooled their skills to create the luminous rose windows of the era.
		In the hands of medieval glaziers, glass took on a jewel-like quality that was all the more impressive for the ancient simplicity of its technique: sand transformed by fire...

		Even after considering the specific chemical composition of stained glass windows, according to a report in the May issue of the American Journal of Physics, it would take longer than the age of the Universe for the glass to sag appreciably.
		Katz, Zanotto, and others think that cathedral glass makers centuries ago were unable to make even panes and that builders put the fat end on the bottom for stability.
		If the cathedral glass really is sagging, Katz says, it could be spotted with an interferometer in the lab.
