Pl. XCV No. 2. Plan accompanied by the words: "A e santo sepolcro  
di milano di sopra"(A is the upper church of S. Sepolcro at Milan);  
although since Leonardo's time considerably spoilt, it is still the  
same in plan.  
The second plan with its note: "B e la sua parte socto tera" (B is  
its subterranean part [the crypt]) still corresponds with the  
present state of this part of the church as I have ascertained by  
visiting the crypt with this plan. Excepting the addition of a few  
insignificant walls, the state of this interesting part of the  
church still conforms to Leonardo's sketch; but in the Vestibolo the  
two columns near the entrance of the winding stairs are absent.  
B. Designs or Studies.  
PL. XCV No. 1. Plan of a church evidently suggested by that of San  
Sepolcro at Milan. The central part has been added to on the  
principle of the second type of Group III. Leonardo has placed the  
"coro" (choir) in the centre.  
Pl. XCVI No. 2. In the plan the dome, as regards its interior,  
belongs to the First Class of Group IV, and may be grouped with the  
one in MS. B. 35a. The nave seems to be a development of the type  
represented in Pl. XCV No. 2, B. by adding towers and two lateral  
porticos[Footnote 1: Already published in Les projets primitifs Pl.
