Find out, still in this window - if possible, how much 118 87
of its section is inside glass - or fitted to it, and No 66, 67. DUCAL PALACE TRACERIES
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 French, 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 f[p]ramework of glass comes and
confuses it; Fig 2: taking the edge of paper at C; for
b2 in fig 1, which is a joint: the semicircular shaft
being set in all its heights gives the section from b2
to the outside full size carefully adjusted only, observe,
c d must be made - a b, 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 ey[t]e 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 semi-
circle, the great outside roll which forms all the tracery
The re-entering cavette, b c like Casa d’Oro - especially
to be noted: d e is I think intended for a pure semi-
circle, 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.
