Haydock's commentary
Winter. Septuagint, "winged house," to keep off cold, (St. Jerome) or to give air. (Calmet)
Summer-house. The noblemen had such is cooler regions. (Menochius)
The kings of Persia passed the summer at Ecbatana. (Xenophon, Cyrop. viii.)
Palladius (i. 12.) orders that the summer apartments must look to the north.
Ivory. Many ornaments of this nature appeared in them, (Calmet) whence Achab's palace was so called, 3 Kings xxii. 39. (Haydock)
