XXVIII. Virtues and Vices. This is a replica of No. VII. The differences are very small. Here II[H? unclear?] is prefixed to the “ONO[G?]RAT” of the other capital. XXIX. Virtues. A replica of No. IX. XXX. Vices. A replica of No. X., but well deserving study. XXXI. Monsters. A replica of No. VIII., but very rudely carved, and very inferior to the next. XXXII. Students. This is _not_ a replica of No. XVII. The figures are admirably treated, all looking thoughtful, and some holding foliage. It seems to represent the more thoughtful side of youth as compared with the idle side, represented in the capitals XV. and XXVI. Zanotto supposes the figures to be the Seven Wise Men of Greece; but the eighth figure--a woman speaking--does not lend itself to this. Mr. Burges most ingeniously suggests that it refers to Nouvella d’Andrea, who, in her father’s last illness, lectured from behind a curtain to his pupils; her father died in 1348. XXXIII. Virtues and Vices. This is a replica of No. XII. XXXIV. Eight birds. A replica of No. XI. XXXV. Nude children. A replica of No. IV. They have birds, fruit, etc., in their hands. XXXVI. Justice and Lawgivers. This is the north-west angle column. The capital has the following subjects: (1) Justice; JUSTITIA. (2) Aristotle; ARISTOTEL. CHE. DIE. LEGGE. (3) Moses; - - - L.PUOLO.D.L.SUO.ISEL.RITA.[105] (4) Solon; SAL.UNO.DEI.SETE.SAVI.DI.GRECIA.CHE.DIE.LEGGE. (5) Scipio; ISIPIONE.ACHASTITA.CHE--E.LA.FIA.ARE.[106] (6) Numa Pompilius; NUMA POMPILIO.IPERADOR.EDIFICHADOR.DI.TEPI.E.CHIESE. (7) Moses receiving the tables of the law; QUADO.MOISE.RICEVE.LA.LEGE.I. SUL.MONTE. (8) Trajan; TRAINO.ĪPERADORE.CHE.DIE.JUSTITIA.A.LA.VEDOVA. The carving of foliage in this capital is, I think, simpler, and on the whole better than that on the other great angle, capital No. XVIII., with which it invites comparison; but the carving of the figures is quite inferior, and later in character. The foliage above this capital, which supports the Judgment of Solomon, is inferior to that on the capital itself, and is, I believe, considerably later in date, being no doubt of the same age as the figures in the Judgment, i.e. not earlier than 1430-1450. Above this angle is the figure of the Archangel Gabriel. THE END LONDON : PRINTED BY WILLIAM CLOWES AND SONS. STAMFORD STREET AND CHARING CROSS FOOTNOTES: [1] In a view of Zurich, published A.D. 1654, these steeples are shown with octagonal spires rising above the gabled sides of the towers; the belfry stages and cupolas now existing must therefore be of a date subsequent to the publication of this view.
