No 77 DUCAL PALACE WINDOWS TO PIAZZETTA
above this window i, or rather between it and
these two small windows have both had traceries now
removed: I cannot tell if central shaft or not. The
outermost one, next the sea, has its seaward or south
side ca[p]pital boldly projecting; and well worked in
leafage, evidently of the time of windows d e and f
with a head similarly rude: all adapted for a tracery
sub shaft - now torn away: But on the other side this
window has a pil[a]aster capital - run flat back along jamb
vilely cut - the notched -broken edged leaves again, as
described in window i no 76 and while the seaward jamb
is smooth andpolished where not decomposed, the inward
jamb is all rough chiselled and granulated on the rolls,
like the window i.
The bases, if there were any - and entirely gone, re-
placed by new plinth: the section with flanked dentil
all the same as windows below.
The Innermost of these two small windows, next the
centre ofpiazzetta facade has both its old capitals left -
so much of them unbroken that, on the inward side,
the circle of which received the shaft for the tracery,
shaft up the jamb - remains quite perfect, and on it, I
traced the curve fig1 No 77.
