Silvestri, and a painting by Montorfano in San Pietro in Gessate at  
Milan, third chapel on the left hand side and also with Bramante's  
palaces at Rome. The pilasters with arabesques, the rustica between  
them, and the figures over the window may be painted or in  
sgraffito. The original is drawn in red chalk.  
Pl. LXXXI No. 1 (MS. Tr. 42). Sketch of a palace with battlements  
and decorations, most likely graffiti; the details remind us of  
those in the Castello at Vigevano. [Footnote 1: Count GIULIO  
PORRO, in his valuable contribution to the Archivio Storico  
Lombardo, Anno VIII, Fasc. IV (31 Dec. 1881): Leonardo da Vinci,  
Libro di Annotazioni e Memorie, refers to this in the following  
note: "Alla pag. 41 vi e uno schizzo di volta ed accanto scrisse:  
'il pilastro sara charicho in su 6' e potrebbe darsi che si  
riferisse alla cupola della chiesa delle Grazie tanto piu che a  
pag. 42 vi e un disegno che rassomiglia assai al basamento che oggi  
si vede nella parte esterna del coro di quella chiesa." This may  
however be doubted. The drawing, here referred to, on page 41 of the  
same manuscript, is reproduced on Pl. C No. 4 and described on page  
6
1 as being a study for the cupola of the Duomo of Milan. J. P. R.]  
MS. Mz. 0", contains a design for a palace or house with a loggia  
in the middle of the first story, over which rises an attic with a  
Pediment reproduced on page 67. The details drawn close by on the  
left seem to indicate an arrangement of coupled columns against the  
wall of a first story.
