AUTHOR’S ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I wish to express my deep sense of gratitude for the kindness
and help I have received in my work. Chiefly I am indebted
to Dr. Gronau, who has aided me constantly with his advice,
his knowledge of the subject, and in the search for and tran-
scription of documents. I owe much also to Professor Allan
Marquand for personal help, besides what I have gained from
his published writings; to Cav. Guido Carocci, who has gene-
rously allowed me to incorporate in my List of Works the
results of his own researches in the by-ways of Tuscany, and
has made easy for me the removal of obstructions in churches,
&c. ; to Cav. Giuseppe Castellucci, Architect to the Opera del
Duomo, who has allowed me to publish notes and photographs
of his discoveries concerning the Cantoria; to MM. Alinari,
for permission to reproduce their photographs and for their
kindness in allowing me to study from their large collection;
to the Directors of the Archivio di Stato and of the Opera del
Duomo for much courtesy and help, especially to Signor del
Badia for his aid in deciphering the documents; to Dr. Bode
for allowing me to reproduce photographs from his own
publications otherwise not obtainable. Lastly to the private
owners of works in Italy, Germany, and England I owe
my thanks for the readiness with which their collections have
been made accessible to me.
