Crypt of St Marks

At Works, 9.41f Ruskin cites examples of the early buildings that he sees as Byzantine and Christian Roman. The cathedral at Torcello, together with Santa Fosca at Torcello, San Giacomo di Rialto, and the crypt of St. Mark's form, according to Ruskin in that passage, a distinct group of ecclesiastical buildings in which Byzantine influence is exceedingly slight.

There is a reference at Notebook M p.209, but that merely refers to Bit Book p.22w. See also Bit Book p.27L.
