Ruskin was concerned with the dating of tombs as a source for relating chronological sequence, architectural form, and moral judgments about the occupant of the tomb or the circumstances in which it was made.
Notes from Zanotto which appear to have provided Ruskin with the initial basis for his investigation of tombs - Notebook M2 p.16
In San Marco Ruskin used the inscription on the tomb of Andrea Dandolo in San Marco to date it and its style - Notebook M p.131
In the Frari
Notebook M p.133 Description of the Beato Pacifico tomb,
Notebook M p.154 Tomb of Duccio degli Alberti in Frari. Leaf plinths compared with the Byzantine Police House system; acorns compared with the tomb of Andrea Dandolo. See Notebook M2 p.17 for the date. Compare Works, 11.91, Works, 11.98, and Works, 11.295.
Notebook M p.155 Nameless tomb with knight in chain mail opposite Duccio tomb; tomb called Arnoldo Teutonico;
Notebook M p.156 Dating of tombs as evidence for dating of Ducal Palace and Police House;

Giacomo Cappello Notebook M2 p.27.
Vittor Cappello Gothic Book p.19
[There appears to be some confusion in the Cappello references here. Gothic Book p.19 seems to refer to Vittore Cappello. His monument is by Rizzo and on the facade of the church of Sant’ Elena. At Gothic Book p.19 the tomb is also said to be of Giacomo Cappello, though Giacomo is struck out. That is on the east side of the north transept door of St John and St Paul, and seems to be what Ruskin has in mind for both these references.]
