Ruskin is interested in the details of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo which mark the relationship between Lombard and Norman Romanesque, and French Gothic forms.
There are references at Works, 9.278, 298, 345 - all of them clearly drawing on the note beginning at Notebook M2 p.134. See also Verona Book p.92.
Gally Knight (1844) II p.xxxii remarked that its ‘history of damage and repair accounts for varieties in style. Parts remain of earlier work but in the arches which support the roof and in the principal front the pointed style is seen, which was universally adopted in the fourteenth century’. The portals are a ‘favourable specimen of the pointed style in Italy’; they are of ‘plain character, but of unusual depth, with numerous bold mouldings.’
