[24] See comparison of Périgueux, Saint Front, and Venice, San Marco
in Lasteyrie, p. 470, Fig. 486 and p. 471, Fig. 487.
[25] Also Peristeroma (Cyprus), Enlart, I, p. 210 and p. 286, note 3;
Hieroskypos (Cyprus), Enlart, I, p. 210 and p. 286.
[26] The clerestory is omitted in the earlier bays and the crossing
has peculiar vaulting described in a later chapter.
[27] See Rivoira, I, p. 35, Fig. 51 and Lasteyrie, p. 267, Fig. 259
for examples of this awkward type.
[28] See Fig. 7. There is one rectangular bay at the end of the
transept aisles and this is covered by an interpenetrating vault at
the level of the transverse nave arches.
[29] In France, at Champagne (Ardèche), there is a church vaulted in a
manner similar to Le Puy, but it is doubtful whether such a method was
the original intention of the builders, since each dome is placed over
two rectangular nave bays. Enlart, I, pp. 289-291. Plan, Fig. 120.
This is, however, a most interesting church for the domes are very
segmental in section, are supported upon squinches and have transverse
arches through their centers. There is also no clerestory and, in
fact, the entire church is of the standard Auvergne type except for
the vaults. A reference to the drawings in Baudot and Perrault-Dabot,
Vol. V, pl. 27, will show this peculiar system.
[30] Among these may be cited: Venice, San Marco, reconstructed 1052
or 1071, dedicated Dec. 8, 1094, but added to and decorated in the
twelfth century and later. Canosa, San Sabino (1101). Trani, Santa
Maria Immacolata (twelfth century). Santa Maria dei Martiri (near
Trani) (also twelfth century). Molfetta, Cathedral (late twelfth and
early thirteenth century). Padua, Sant’ Antonio (thirteenth century)
Byzantine-Gothic type, numerous Sicilian churches, etc.

542, Fig. 273.
[32] Similar churches: Trani, Santa Maria Immacolata, plan in Dehio
and von Bezold, I, p. 354. Santa Maria dei Martiri, Ch.
[33] Rarely the case in Byzantine architecture.
