NOTE ON THE ILLUSTRATIONS

ILLUSTRATIONS IN THESE BOOKS OCCUR in a
numerical unbroken sequence and are grouped in this list under
volumes I, II, and III. (Excluded from the sequence are 166 color
illustrations in Appendix I; they are listed by the Index of Building
Numbers of the Plan; e.g. c.127, the Mill.) References to illustrations
in the main text are by figure number, as, fig. 124. When the
reference is to a figure in a volume other than the one in hand, the
volume number is also given, as II, fig. 425.

Organization of entries in this list is intended to afford the reader
both overview and swift access to one, or a series, of illustrations.
Order of information is as follows:

Monuments and sites: location, monument, date, scale, parts
illustrated. (Location of famous monuments may be omitted from
both list and caption title.)

Books and manuscripts: Author if pertinent, title or descriptive
name, publication date or approximate date of writing, folio.
Library and shelf number are given in the captions. (But manuscripts
lacking descriptive titles are listed by library and shelf
number; cf. fig. 388.)

Works of art, artifacts: Artist if pertinent, title or descriptive
name, date. (Museum location is given in the captions.)

Illustrations with several parts occur in two sequences: A, B,
C . . . and X, Y, Z . . . series. The A-series identifies the main body
of illustrations constituting primary visual support for the text. The
X-series was introduced to resolve editorial questions after the main
body of figures was established. These may illustrate details (cf. fig.
115.X), supplementary views or plans (cf. figs. 310.X, 438.X), or
may identify a major illustration or sequence germane to the
arguments of the text, and containing important supportive
information in extended captions (cf. figs. 71.X, Y, Z, and
166.X).

Illustrations classified as "figures" comprise the majority.
Numerous others, not directly referred to in the text, supplementary
and germane to the theme of the work, are also integrated in the
list. They carry the prefix "ill.", volume number, and page, as,
ill. I.25. A few maps, tables, and diagrams are so identified and are
listed among the figures in the sequence in which they occur in the
text. The term "plate" is not used in this work.

Inclusion of an indication of scale with plan illustrations, essential
in books concerned with architecture, was adopted at the inception
of the work. In general the graphic scale is preferred and is usually
shown in both English and metric measure. In most cases it is
supplemented by the representational fraction, R.F. (1:100, 1:600,
etc.) corresponding to the graphic scale.

Details of the Plan of St. Gall are generally reproduced at the
scale of the original (1:192) unless otherwise stated. In Appendix I
portions of the Plan are reproduced 1.5 times the size of the original
for study purposes.

Dates are all A.D. unless otherwise noted. Size of original works,
important and often cardinal to understanding the subject illustrated,
is, whenever possible, given in the illustration caption.

For remarks concerning printing procedure and reproduction see
notes on Hatton 48 inscription illustrations, I, p. 345; and the
Colophon at the end of this volume.

Illustrations for the books are drawn from wide-ranging sources.
We gratefully acknowledge the aid and cooperation of individuals
and of many institutions in making it possible for us to assemble
this illustrative record. Full credit to sources is given where each
illustration appears in the text, together with bibliographic citations.

NOTE: REDRAWING OF ILLUSTRATIONS

Subject matter for illustrations was redrawn only when the state of the copy
was not suitable, or sometimes not unseable, for adequate printing reproduction;
e.g., very large fold-out pages of drawings in lines too thin to reproduce
properly when reduced to page size, or archaeological drawings bearing
technical field notes irrelevant to the needs of the work.

The procedure of redrawing involves interpretation and translation, and in
consequence, the possibility of misinterpretation and human error. Mindful of
this risk, despite particular diligence in pursuit of the task, the authors ask the
indulgence of the reader.

Redrawing has been employed only when original copy would not comply
with standards of reproduction required for satisfactory performance in
effective visual communication and for superior printing and book production.
