I.13.1
INTENT OR INADVERTENCY
It would be incongruous to expect that a plan comprising
forty buildings and other installations, such as a cemetery
and gardens, would be free of omissions or oversights. A
few of these do indeed exist, but for absolute errors one
looks in vain. The majority of missing features, which
might appropriately be termed omissions, appear, however,
to have been left out by intent rather than by neglect or
inadvertence.
Most conspicuous among these are: the lack of consistent
attention to stairs and privies; the absence of any suggestion
of waterways to operate the monastery's water-driven
machinery and to dispose of the monastery's waste; and,
perhaps, the absence of a peripheral wall enclosure.
