This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Didron thinks they are rather of the thirteenth than of the fifteenth. Francesco Zanotti in his work on the ducal palace (ch. xii. note 18) speaks of an inscription said to have been discovered on the capital of the Column of Justice to this effect: 'Duo soti (socii) Florentini incisi.' Upon this inscription he founds a theory that these two Florentine associates were the Pietro di Niccolo da Firenze and Giovanni Martino da Fiesole, who made the tomb of the doge Tomaso Mocenigo (died 1423) at S. Giovanni e Paolo, during whose reign this portion of the palace was completed. But as no one else mentions this inscription, and as the noble style of the capital is very different from the mediocre character of the work about the tomb, we are not inclined to accept Zanotti's hypothesis, especially as this capital is the finest of the whole series. Ricci, Storia delV Architettura in Italia, ii. 341, expresses as his opinion that the designs for the decoration of the facades of the ducal palace were given by Calendario. Adam and Eve (Plate XXI. No. 1) in the act of plucking the forbidden fruit, below the statue of Michael, who was sent to drive them out of their forfeited Paradise, warns against disobedience;" lastly the Judgment of Solomon, (see Plate XIX/:No,.below the statue of Gabriel, speaks more particularly to the magistrates of their duty towards the people.-T.
