Printing style used for the INDEX follows conventional and standard book
usage. Roman numerals of the Index refer to volume numbers, I, II, III.

Numbers in square brackets following the names of specific buildings of
the Plan are the assigned building numbers as indicated in volume I,

textual matter proper, notes as indicated, extended captions (sometimes
lengthy), illustrations, maps, tables, or diagrams.
Many terms appearing in this Index are defined and rubricated in the

NOTE
INITIALS FOR THE INDEX were developed from an initial M appearing in a Gospel Book
of the 9th century, probably written at Landévennec in Brittany.[1]
The letter is characterized by use of a very thin line, corresponding to the thin stroke of the
Roman capital, and by use of a double stroke composed of a single broad solid line parallel
to the broad solid stroke, this double stroke corresponding to the thick stroke of the Roman
capital. Notable too is the broad stroke to the observer's left, the thin one to his right.
These characteristics, the double stroke broad, heavy, and the other quite thin and separated
by a white space of generous width, startling and of rare occurrence in early manuscripts,
appear some centuries after the invention of moveable type, during the 18th century
(P. S. Fournier in France, about 1750, J. Rosart, Haarlem and Brussels, about 1759).
Types of this kind are referred to as shaded, open, or inline without much consistency or
exactness of meaning by the makers.
At the time of the Brittany Gospel Book a letter of this kind must have seemed as novel and
audacious as the bizarre portrayal of its Evangelists with animal heads that are typical
of this "monstrous off-shoot" (Porcher), a school issuing from England, first appearing in
Spain and England about the 7th century.
The adaptation used here, deriving from a single model initial M, conforms largely with
present-day design practice in this style of letter, with one exception: following the
model, the broad solid element of the double stroke occurs at the left.
