CAPITALS
Now, above this bell, if square,we lay our abacus
(A) (B) (F)
giving three seveal capitals But if round, we have to
consider whether an intermediate concave abacus be
applied or not
Whereon the dotted abacus occurs in
early work: it must be a sign of imitative character
or Romanesque workmen: Now in Venice; we have: 1st
Family Block cpitals: Byzntine: with convex bell C. or
concave B:
2nd Family: Contemporary with these Byzantine with
complex abacus E e7c.
