Drawings Attributed to Andreas Coner.

Ottaviano Alessandro Medici, who became Pope under the name of Leo XI.
in 1605, and possessed a fine collection of ancient marbles. His palace
and garden were situated close to the Basilica of Constantine (Lanciani,
Storia degli Scavi, ii. 85, 212). The garden of Pietro Paulo Attavati is
unknown to me.
b. 'In S. Marco?
See above No. 124 b. The names of the different parts of the base
have been added in pencil by a still later hand.
131. (98)1 Back blank.
a. Unnamed.
Not unlike a base in the Frigidarium of the Baths of Caracalla,
which is 40 cm. in height. The bucrania and the lowest moulding are
shown by Salvestro Peruzzi Uffizi 677, 'in la Vig(n)a di Dom(eni)c°
d(e)l Nero,' a site which I cannot identify.
b. Unnamed and unidentified.

a. This base is one of a pair existing at the Lateran baptistery, support-
ing the two porphyry columns of the south-east entrance. They are
shown by Francesco da Sangallo Barb. 38', as labasa delle colonne delportico
deltempio digkostantino iroma, which Fabriczy (op. cit. 51) wrongly refers
to the Basilica of Constantine.
b. This base was seen in Santa Croce in Gerusalemme by Dosio
(Uffizi 2010), e in la chiesa di Sta Croce in Jerusale(m) sotto a una
colon(n)a di Spoglie un altra simile e sop(r)a a uno chiauico alia dogana
lauorato co(n) estrema dilige(n)tia. It was also drawn by Sansovino (?)
(Uffizi 5v), who gives the same indication of locality, preso achesa d. Santa
Crocie, and Baldassare Peruzzi (Uffizi 55°)- It is no longer extant, the
church having been modernised in the eighteenth century.
c. This base was drawn by Baldassare Peruzzi (Uffizi 634), basa di
colon(n)a di pal. 5 grossa In Casa de le herede di M. melckior baldassino In
Roma, and engraved by Jacques Prevost (1535-7) : Haec est Romae in domo
Marchionis de baldassinis (Robert-Dumesnil, Peintre-graveur fran^ais, viii.
