A footnote to Works, 10.394 suggests that ‘INVINCIBILIS’ is a better reading. Whether that emendation is accepted or not it is interesting to trace the shift in Ruskin’s perceptions of the 9th Capital and 29th capital of the Ducal Palace series of capitals of lower arcade to conform with his preconceptions as he moves from Palace Book p.42L, to Notebook M p.184, and to the published version at Works, 10.394f. In the published version the point he wishes to make depends on the reading ‘virilis’, and that is the only reading given there.
