In 1935 the name Fenestella M'Coy, 1844 was replaced by Fenestrellina, because it is a junior homonym of a bivalve, now considered synonymous with Anomia. In 1962 however, Fenestella was reinstated for the bryozoan genus. The misspelling Fenestrella became officially rejected.

Fenestella (c. 52 BC – c. AD 19) was a Roman historian and encyclopaedic writer.

Fenestella is Latin, meaning little window, from fenestra "window", for the window-like openings in the mesh of the skeleton of its colonies.

Lucyna fenestella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1874. It is found in Chile.Lucyna at Markku Savela's Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms.

Branches split (or bifurcate) from time to time giving the colonies a fan-shaped appearance. The internal structure of the branches is of decisive importance in the assignment of specimens to genera and species, which greatly hampers identification of intact fossils. Compared to other fenestellids with two rows of apertures, Fenestella is relatively fine, with large apertures and wide dissepiments. The distance between apertures in Fenestella remains the same as colonies grow and individuals (or zooids) will have had equal size lophophores.

The skeleton of Fenestella colonies consists of stiff branches that are interconnected by narrower crossbars (or dissepiments). Between two and eight individuals of the colony inhabit each of the opposing front sides of the approximately rectangular openings between the branches (or fenestule) in one row, and the void they left when they died can be recognized as two rows of small rimmed pores (or apertures) on the front of each branch. In well-preserved specimens these are closed by centrally perforated lids. In Fenestella, the front of the branches may carry small nodes in a row in the middle.

The church contains some notable relics, including the skull of St. Febronia of Nisibis, moved here from the old church of St. Paul after the latter was demolished for the construction of Palazzo Chigi. This relic, kept together with two other skulls of saints, is visible in fenestella confessionis altar.

In the apse a fenestella confessionis (little window for confession) allowed to see the main place of worship, while a side door gave access to the catacomb. The present entrance of the catacomb has been recently built and it is made of a tiny brick structure closed by an iron door.

Fenestella is a genus of bryozoans or moss animals, forming fan–shaped colonies with a netted appearance. It is known from the Middle Ordovician to the early Upper Triassic (Carnian), reaching its largest diversity during the Carboniferous. Many hundreds of species have been described from marine sediments all over the world.

During her career, Crockford-Beattie recorded 79 species, 42 of which were new identifications. She named three new genera and the family Cyclostomata. She erected two families and seven genera—Pesnastylus, Minilya, Streblocladia, Stenodiscus, Etherella, Evactinostella and Liguloclema—as well as an estimated 100 other species of Bryozoa. One was named for her, namely Fenestella crockfordae Campbell.

Fragments of his work can be found in Hermann Peter's Historicorum Romanorum fragmenta (1883). A work published under the name of L. Fenestella (De magistratibus et sacerdotiis Romanorum, 1510) is really by A. D. Fiocchi, canon and papal secretary, and was subsequently published as by him (under the Latinized form of his name, Floccus), edited by Aegidius Witsius (1561).

Terence's date of birth is disputed; Aelius Donatus, in his incomplete Commentum Terenti, considers the year 185 BC to be the year Terentius was born;Aeli Donati Commentum Terenti, accedunt Eugraphi Commentum et Scholia Bembina, ed. Paul Wessner, 3 Volumes, Leipzig, 1902, 1905, 1908. Fenestella, on the other hand, states that he was born ten years earlier, in 195 BC.G. D' Anna, Sulla vita suetoniana di Terenzio, RIL, 1956, pp. 31-46, 89-90.

Fourth edition, with Slobodan Ćurčić. p.518. Martyria, mostly small, were very common after the early 4th century, when Constantine became the first Roman emperor to declare religious tolerance for Christianity in the Roman Empire. Martyria had no standard architectural plan, and are found in a wide variety of designs. There was often a sunken floor, or part of it, to bring the faithful closer to the remains of the saint, and a small opening, the fenestella, going from the altar-stone to the grave itself.

The rubble and cement tower of the church was constructed in Saxon times, as was an arch and a doorway which are set in the belfry's east wall. Notable Norman work in the church building includes an exterior doorway arch (originally from another Bedford Church) in the south porch. The chancel's font, priest's door and windows were added in the 13th and 14th centuries. A reproduction of an original fenestella from this time was added in the south wall of the sanctuary in the 19th century.

The Po series overlies the Lipak series, and the Fenestella shales are interbedded within a sequence of quartzites and dark shales. In many places Carboniferous strata are overlaid by grey agglomeratic slates, believed to be of volcanic origin. Many genera of productids are found in the limestones of the Permo-Triassic, which has led to these rocks being referred to as "productus limestone". This limestone is of marine origin and is divided into three distinct lithostratigraphic units based on the productus chronology: the Late Permian Chideru, which contains many ammonites, the Late — Middle Permian Virgal, and the Middle Permian Amb unit.

Taking Varro for his model, Fenestella was one of the chief representatives of the new style of historical writing which, in the place of the brilliant descriptive pictures of Livy, discussed curious and out-of-the-way incidents and customs of political and social life, including literary history. He was the author of a work entitled Annales, probably from the earliest times down to his own days. The fragments indicate the great variety of subjects discussed: the origin of the appeal to the people (provocatio); the use of elephants in the circus games; the wearing of gold rings; the introduction of the olive tree; the material for making the toga; the cultivation of the soil; certain details as to the lives of Cicero and Terence. The work was referred to (mention is made of an abridged edition) by Pliny the Elder, Asconius Pedianus (the commentator on Cicero), Nonius and the philologists.
