    Scope & contentBook three of a two thousand year history of the mills in Flanders. This is an illustrated mill glossary A-Z. A loose typewritten note explains the title: A zadelsteen is the Dutch word for a primitive quern, a zetelkruier is a typical construction of the roof structure of a tower mill. With his title Bauters (the author) looked for two words one beginning with A and the other with Z. He couldn't find a word beginning with A, so he used zAdelsteen.
