Notes
Drawings [4]-[6] include the pencil alterations added to drawings [1]-[3].
The layout in this drawing is the same as in drawing [2]. The main differences are in the entrance front, which now has a central portico, with the walls on either side projecting and containing recesses. The entrance leads to a vestibule with a cross vault (previously shown as a shallow dome) followed by five ascending steps and a square hall with a cross vault. The plan of the ground floor is very similar to that of Pitzhanger (P. Guillery, op. cit., p. 186).
