engraver, who generally passes under the name of the Master of 1515.
(Bartsch, Le Peintre-graveur, xiii. p. 408 sqq. ; Passavant, Le Peintre-graveur,
v. p. 89. The latter appears to be wrong in his statement that 'les fonds
d'architecture qu'il a employes sont presque toujours empruntes aux
edifices de Rome, ce qui pourrait faire croire qu'il a habite cette ville.')
As I am informed by Dr. Hermann Egger of Vienna, his studies of
the architectural works of this master (of which the Kupferstichkabinet of
the Hofbibliothek possesses an almost complete series) lead him to believe
that their origin can be traced back to compositions of the early Renais-
sance, attributable perhaps to a Paduan or Venetian master of about 1460.
No connection can therefore be discovered between these engravings and
the drawings of Coner.

A drawing by the later hand.
This puteal occurs in a drawing by an unknown artist in the Kunst-
gewerbemuseum (3829) who gives exactly the same text (Fig. 6). Where
it now is I do not know: it does not seem to have remained in the Villa
Medici, and I can find no record of it in Florence.1

Details of the column of Trajan (supra, 91, 4 c).

A drawing by the later hand.

edifice), was drawn by Vignola (Uffizi 1813'), who does not give the
locality but makes the total height p(almi) 1 d(ita) 11 g(rani) 1, i.e. 043 metre,

da Sangallo's drawing.
