FOOTNOTES

[1] Since these words were written that country has seen another harvest time; the fields have been ploughed with the trenches of armies and harrowed by the bomb and bullet: Street’s record of what men saw fifty years ago has grown precious for us who shall never see it more.

[2] Your man of genius has run ahead of fashion by forty years. This description reads like the account of a house finished last week somewhere up the River or on the Main Line.

[3] Note from the sketch-book: Tournus has a fine Romanesque church with one complete and one unfinished steeple at the west end and another complete steeple on the north side in about the position (I think) of a transept. These two steeples have two arcaded stages of about equal height above the roof and are finished with square tiled spires in a very characteristic manner. (These square spires seem to be of very frequent occurrence in this district.) Just in front of the church are two round towers which seem to form a gateway and the space between the western steeples of the church is finished horizontally with a crenelated parapet on a machicoulis--the battlements pierced with openings of this kind ✠--the whole looks as though done with a view to defence.

[4] General de Boigne, d. 1830.--G. G. K.

[5] These must be those now given to Cavallini and his school; and Street’s taste comes out right where knowledge was a-wanting.--G. G. K.

[6] If Street did not know the name, how should the editor?--G. G. K.

[7] This will be Messer Cino--of Dante and Mr. Hewlett.--G. G. K.

[8] Eastern? queries Street in pencil.

[9] Attributed to Jacopo della Quercia; it is not hard to divine why, when Donatello had failed to satisfy, Jacopo should offend.--G. G. K.

[10] Qy.: S. Vincent?--G. G. K.

[11] The same ornamentation appears in the doorways opening out of the Great Cloister at Las Huelgas (province of Burgos, Spain).--G. G. K.

[12] The plan of six-foot cubicles, open above, with separate windows but a single lofty roof, carried on immense stone arches spanning the vast hall, is that of the great dormitory at the Cistercian abbey of Poblet, in Cataluña.--G. G. K.

[13] Our ancient sculpture is therefore of inexpressible value to us; and it is to be hoped that we shall hear less and less of that destructive and dangerous process called “restoration” in connection with it. The _Guardian_ lately contained a paragraph stating that a London carver is employed on the restoration of the ancient figure-sculpture at Lincoln. I shudder to think of the havoc which (if I may judge of him by the former performances of his class) he must be making. If the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln possessed a picture by an old master, would they employ a painter to touch up the noses and put in new heads where the old painting was defective? Assuredly not. And can they not feel that any sculpture is just as much a work of art, owing all its interest to the genius of the artist, as any painting can be, and as far beyond restoration therefore?

[14] I am, of course, aware that some of these churches are not locally situated within the Île de France, and one of them--Rouen Cathedral--might have been expected to be purely Norman in its character. To my mind, however, it represents a fusion between the Norman and the real French style, affected, moreover, at first to some extent by Italian influences. And Rouen, as well as most of these churches, was comprised within the _Domaine Royale_ before the death of Philip Augustus.

[15] The plan of an aisle or “procession-path” without chapels is, in execution, the only form of apse, the effect of which is decidedly inferior to our English square ends. It is on the exterior that its deformity is most conspicuous.

[16] The chapels round the apse of Senlis Cathedral form an intermediate link between the two plans at S. Leu. They form exactly half a circle on plan, and have only two bays, one of which is lighted with a window. Externally they have stone roofs, finishing under the triforium windows. These two churches should be studied and compared together.

[17] No one who visits S. Leu should omit to go also to Senlis. He will find a tower and spire of unusual--if not unique--beauty and elegance. There are two fine desecrated churches, and other remains which, with the charming cathedral, make a _tout ensemble_ not easily forgotten. It is a walk of about six miles only from S. Leu--passing by Chantilly.

[18] I copied the following from the “Tariff” of the seats in S. Étienne:--

“Une stalle haute par année, 8 fr. Une stalle basse par année, 5 fr. Les deux premiers bancs à chaque côté du chœur, 8 fr. Les deux centres bancs derrière l’autel, 7 fr. 50 c.”

[19] See the Illustration of a Wheel of Fortune in _Les Arts Somptuaires_, Vol. II., taken from a MS. in the _Bibl. Imp._, No. 6877.

[20] This work recalls to mind the work of the same character at Glastonbury.

[21] It is sometimes called also the “_Sainte Chapelle_” of S. Germer: I know not, however, on what grounds. M. Viollet-le-Duc does not mention it in his list of S. Chapelles.

[22] There is some reason for believing that the Lady-chapel of S. Germain-des-Prés was groined with sexpartite vaulting: if so, it differed from the other chapels in this respect.

[23] P. 365.

[24] These groined triforia are called tribunes by the French antiquaries. At Montierender, where both occur, the upper stage is more than usually similar to our English triforia; and in all these cases it would perhaps be best to accept the French terminology as being substantially correct. The tribune is, in fact, a second stage of the aisle.

[25] The abbey church of Longpont was dedicated in A.D. 1227, in the presence of S. Louis. Its value as a dated example is therefore considerable, independent of its high architectural interest.

[26] _Dictionnaire_, Vol. II. p. 309.

[27] The arrangement of these gables recalls to mind the very similar arrangement at Salisbury and Lincoln.

[28] The autumn of 1860. The original paper, which has undergone considerable revision since it was read on 7th January, 1861, will be found in the First Series of _Transactions_, 1860–61, pp. 97–119.--A. E. S.

[29] I give an extract from “La Estoire de Seint Edward le Rei,” MS. Bibl., Publ. Cambridge. Ee iii. 59:

“Seint Pere, du ciel claver, Va sa iglise dedier, Des angeles mut grant partie Li funt servise e grant aie. Li angele chantent au servise, La nuit quant dedient l’iglise Tant ja du ciel luur Ke vis est au peschur, Ke li solailz e la lune Lur clarté tute i preste e dune.”

This is the rubric descriptive of the illustration, whilst in the poem itself is the following passage:

“E cist si tost cum arive Entrez est en sun muster; Li airs devint lusanz e clers, N’out en muster tenegre ne umbre; Atant des angres grant numbre, Ki s’en venent a sum servise A dedier cele iglise. Tant ja partut odur, Ke vis est a cel pescur Ke li solailz la lune Sa clarté tute preste u dune Angles pu cel avaler Regarde e puis remunter; Teu joie a, ke li est vis Ke raviz est en Parais, Pur l’avisium k’apert.”

[30] _L’Auvergne au Moyen Age_, by M. Dominique Branche. Clermont-Ferrand, 1842.

[31] The steps are arranged in successive groups of eleven, with platforms between them.

[32] As evidence of the popularity of Notre Dame du Puy this may suffice:--in Amiens cathedral, until A.D. 1820, there existed a series of pictures given by the “Confrèrie de Notre Dame du Puy.” A similar confrèrie existed at Limoges.--G. E. S. There is an image and a devotion of N. D. du Puy at Estella in Navarre, carried thither by French pilgrims.--G. G. K.

[33] The passage to the right is evidently modern, that to the left looks as though it were ancient, but a protest against the removal of some ancient work, in the course of constructing it, which I have found in the _Bulletin Monumental_ [A. de Caumont], seems to show that it is not so.

[34] S. Martin d’Ainay, at Lyon, is a parallel triapsidal church, with a central dome, and a western tower of unusual and picturesque outline, adorned largely with inlaid tiles and bricks.

[35] At present the exterior of the lantern is covered with a domical roof; but an illustration that I have seen shows it finished with a low-pitched tile roof, and without any of the inlaid mosaic which is now upon it.

[36] The division of the building into work done at various epochs is beyond question, though there may be some question as to the date I assign.

[38] See Viollet-le-Duc (_Dictionnaire_, art. “_Clocher_,” pp. 312–18) for a reference to this influence of the Rhine churches.

[39] M. Viollet-le-Duc considers the earliest part of the cloister to date from the tenth century; M. Mérimée thinks the eleventh century more likely.

[40] The _Maîtrise_ was, I believe, the school attached to the cathedral.
