[M.87L] [M.87]
Find out, still - in this window, if possible - how much of its No 66, 67 Ducal palace. Traceries. 87
section is inside glass or fitted to it, and base of jamb.
Dec 17th: I was to-day all the afternoon on the ledge of the
traceried window of the Doge’s palace on facade, next
the centre: It is most singular in every way: No
66 gives the jamb of it. Fig 1 entire section, from
outside dentil to inside when the framework of glass
comes and confuses it: though Fig 2: taking the
edge of paper at b; for b2 in fig 1, which is a
joint: the semicircular shaft being set in all its heights
1 gives the section from b2 to the outside full size carefully
2 - 4 adjusted only, observe. c d must be made = a b.
28 and then d joined to the other d, at paper’s edge.
The flanked dentil is very curious, its aspect given in
fig 3. The measures are given to check the eye profile
by: observe also g f = 3¾ in. and f b2 is a pure
semicircle, 1 " 2 in round.
No 67. Fig 5, Shows the junction of the tracery with the above
section, on the abacus head: Fig 6 gives the section
of the tracery bar real size very carefully: A a
pure semicircle, the great outside roll which forms all
the tracery: The re-entering cavetto, b c like Casa
d Oro - especially to be noted: d e is I think intended
for a pure semicircle, but the cutting is a little rough,
and the recess at c sometimes hardly cut, so as to look like
Ca d’Oro. But it is on the whole much finer.
