Notebook M p.138 ‘Duomo Murano p 51 Goth . book A with b and c its sections a moulding is all cut in a piece with it and is remarkable as an early form derived from the Greek dentil, so that I must not as I once thought deduce it entirely from the chipped slab Figs 2. 3. Section and profile of one of the capitals of lower story of apse. There are however more graceful ones than this. In 2 the concave line is the bell & convex flower work - at the angle at the side it would be as at 5, or perhaps more correctly 6 of course no undercutting: 4 is leaf of capital more accurate. Note these caps are browned or discoloured down to their point - though of marble. The joints shafts are the purest white Fig 1 is their base as far as the wear admits of its outline being felt. It has no angle leaves: the mouldings are circular down to p. and stand on the plain square plinth below.’
