[Encyclopaedia of Visual Art 4:641ff ‘Renaissance Style’ is photocopied in its entirety in the ms but is not reproduced in the ts. There are no marginal notes in the ms, except* for an arrow highlighting the text referring to the centrally planned church, and in particular to S. Maria della Conciliazione which ‘immediately gives us a sense of how the building fits together as interlocking regular shapes of circle and square’ which ‘will not suffer additions or subtractions to the fabric without being destroyed, in an aesthetic sense, in the process’.

Illustrations in the text include:

Donatello’s marble St John the Evangelist (1408ce), marble St George (circa1417ce),

& bronze David (circa1430ce);**

Andrea del Verrochio’s bronze David (circa1465ce);**
