[30] William of Malmesbury. No work of this early period now remains at Aix. [31] Report of a Survey of the Dilapidated Portions of Hereford Cathedral, in the year 1841. By Professor Willis. Hereford, 1842. [32] The Norman triforium, which was a mere wall-arcade without a passage, consisted of two circular arches in each bay, each arch circumscribing two smaller ones. The clerestory had one lofty circular arch in each bay, and had a passage throughout. [33] “The oxe-eye masonry is so termed because the centre of it is pierced by an opening in the form of the ancient _vesica piscis_, called by workmen an ox-eye.”--_Willis._ [34] Willis’s Report on Hereford Cathedral, p. 20. [35] This brass is engraved as the frontispiece to Haines’s “Manual of Monumental Brasses.” [36] See Pt. II. for the confirmation of this date. [37] Dean Merewether’s Memorials. [38] A translation of M. D’Avezac’s paper will be found in the Gentleman’s Magazine for May, 1863. The division of France from Flanders, and “an inscription, most significant, placed across the Saone and the Rhone, marking, between Lyons and Vienne, the separation of France from Burgundy,” are the indications on which M. D’Avezac relies for his date. [39] D’Avezac. [40] For a further notice of this map, see Mr. Wright’s paper in the Gloucester volume of the Archæological Association, and that by M. D’Avezac already mentioned. One of the earliest mediæval maps accompanies the text of the _Periegesis_ of Priscian, an Anglo-Saxon MS. of the end of the tenth century, (Cott. Lib.) “A map of the world, in a MS. of the thirteenth century in the British Museum, contains a curious note, in which the author refers to four maps which were then looked upon in England as being of chief authority. These were, the map of Robert de Melkeleia, that of the Abbey of Waltham, that in the King’s Chamber at Westminster, and that of Matthew Paris.”--_Wright._ [41] “Mobiliers.” [42] “This may account for the omission of any recorded founder or benefactor in connection with either the work of the north transept or of this tower; for it may be generally observed, with respect to the buildings of the Middle Ages, that, when they were carried on by their monasteries no record is preserved of the work, but only when some considerable portion of it, as a tower, a transept, or the vaulting of an aisle, was undertaken at the expense of an individual.”--_Willis’s Report_, p. 10. [43] “The English eastern crypts are Canterbury, Winchester, Gloucester, Rochester, Worcester;--all founded before 1085. After this they were discontinued, except as a continuation of former ones, as at Canterbury and Rochester. The Early English crypt of the Lady-chapel at Hereford is an exception.”--_Willis_, _Architectural History of Canterbury Cathedral_, p. 71, note. [44] “_Port_ strictly means an enclosed place for sale or purchase--a market.”--_Kemble._
