HICNOGRAPHIA-PANT -EONISIDEST-S-MARL^-ROTVND^.
Ground plan of the Pantheon carefully measured.
14. (8v) 'c. adriani'.
A plan of the ground-floor of the palace in the Borgo Nuovo, built by
Cardinal Adriano di Corneto, and given by him in 1504 to Henry VII. of
England.1 It is often called the Palazzo Giraud, from one of its subsequent
owners, and is now the property of Prince Torlonia. The architect is
unknown: Geymiiller (op. cit. 69 sq.) attributes it, like the Palazzo della
Cancelleria (with which, indeed, it is closely associated in style), to
Bramante: but Gnoli (Arckivio Storico delf Arte, v (1892) 176, 331)
denying as he does the attribution of the Palazzo della Cancelleria to This
architect, refuses to admit more than that Bramante may have been called
in to complete the palace of the Cardinal di Corneto, and especially
to construct the courtyard, in which he recognises a different style,
slightly later than that of the facade. It is possible, indeed, that our
drawing may have been copied from a study made by or for Bramante: for
the posterior facade looking on the garden appears incomplete in it, and
the measurements do not exactly correspond with those of the palace as
constructed (Letarouilly, Edifices de Rome Moderne, ii. Pl. 145). Alterations
in recent years—since the time of Letarouilly—have completely destroyed
all traces of the posterior facade.
15. (9) TE^PLI - CESARIS-
Plan (with elevation of one niche) of the so-called temple of Minerva
Medica, which is probably a nymphaeum of the Horti Liciniani (Lanciani,
Ruins and Excavations, 402). The present plan, which is carefully
drawn and measured, presents certain differences from Sangallo Barb. 6,
and Lanciani, Forma Urbis, 34. In this drawing there is no attempt to
represent what is extant as in any manner different from what is not,
and accuracy in this regard has been sacrificed to symmetry.

1 The original deed of gift is still extant (Gregorovius, Rome in the Middle Ages, vii. 695. 1).

2 In Sangallo's drawing the spiral staircase, and the columns in the entrance hall, are absent ;
nor is there an opening opposite the main door in the large domed hall, its place being taken by
one in each of the two lateral niches.
