No 49, 50. CA PISANI
4 foil, a of A is a very akward affair, fig 6 and its
section added to the tracery bar is fig 2 its fillet note
much deeper than Foscari. One of the capitals of the
arcade is drawn in the centre; its angle leaves are
entirely detached from the bell except at their roots,
above; and they join tips round - like hands: I never
saw anything so daring The bell below is with exquisite
feeling, made very plain, with straight ribs and
lines of lobe. Not one of the capital is however like
another. though all are equally daring I never saw so
small an abacus, or so little curved a bell, vide section
4. Pils at end fig 5 - heading and abacus the
same; Bases Lombard vide House book. Eight windows
of 6th order, with heavy but rude f[p]inials, at the sides,
highly curious,being worked with section 3 d e with roll
for[d] dentil. Not e shallow cavette like Foscari, while it
is deep in the fig 2. All three windows are now lathed
and plastered up, but I doubtnot they have had cusps [cuspa] like
the rest. The lions heads in main arcade arevery fine
in the flow of their hair, evidently worked by the artist
of the capitals.
No 49. Fig 1. Cornice of St Gregorio vid no
Fig 2. Base of the circular angle shaft of the Great
Foscari.
