[403] See Rivoira I, p. 184.
[404] Now destroyed. See Rivoira I, p. 184.
[405] Some examples of the walled off ambulatory are found, however.
See Enlart, I, p. 234, note 5.
[406] See Rivoira, I, p. 183, for dates of Santo Stefano and Ivrea.
[407] An annular tunnel vault also covered the passage around the
tribune of the so-called stadium of Domitian already mentioned. See
Rivoira, I, p. 184.
[408] For other examples, see Enlart, I, p. 266, note 6. A similar
vault is sometimes found in the aisles of circular churches, as for
example in Ste. Croix at Quimperlé (eleventh century). Baudot and
Perrault-Dabot, II, pl. 5.
[409] See Rivoira, II, p. 289.
[410] At intervals this vault is cut by lunettes or groined bays but
it is fundamentally an annular tunnel vault.
[411] Exactly as has been suggested in regard to similar side aisle
vaults.
[412] See Enlart, I, p. 266, note 6.

[421] The date of this cathedral is uncertain and the exceptional
character of its triforium leads to the suspicion that it may not now
retain its original arrangement, though the writer has no proof of
this suggestion.
[422] In some instances these lintels have been cut through with an
arch running up into the surface of the vault between the bays.
[423] Previous to Porter there had been suggestions of this origin
of the ribbed vault in Choisy’s work and in Rivoira’s Lombardic
architecture, but their studies had been largely confined to vaults
whose ribs were sunken into the masonry panels.
[424] See discussion of this point on p. 136.
[425] See p. 53, 54.
