Chapter 13656 – A view of a cupola and a plan and of a worked out variant of a centralizing chapel very similar to the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament in Mantua Cathe- dral, reconstruction of which was planned by Giulio in 1545 [fol. 62v.; Figs. 13.35–13.36]. – A view of the elevation of the east façade of the courtyard of the Palazzo del Te at Mantua [fol. 2v; Fig. 13.37]. The slight differences between the drawing and the façade as executed indicate that the Prague drawing is based on one of Giulio’s preparatory designs, which had likewise been the source for a similar drawing by the ‘Anonymous A’.48 – Two drawings [fols. Ad and 4v], copying Giulio’s designs for vases, copies of which can be found also in the Strahov codex [Figs. 13.25–13.26 and 13 27–13.28]. – An anonymous, unfinished design for a fountain, a variant of type dating back to the fifteenth century [fol. 3v.; Fig. 13.38] – An anonymous drawing and a careful transcription of the inscriptions of the tomb of Petrarch at Arquà Petrarca, probably antedating 1547, when a bust and a commemorative plaque were added to it. It is interesting in being the earliest known image of Petrarch’s tomb [fol. 5r.; Fig. 13.39]. One of the drawings (fol 2r.) is thought to be by Giulio Romano, cf. Paul Davis and David Hemsoll, ‘Ville e corti’, in Giulio Romano 1989, pp. 517–519. 48 Hülsen/Egger 1916, ii, fol. 30v. Figures 13.29–13.31 Codex Chlumczansky, fols. 26r., 70v., and 85r.: examples of the original contents of the album: inscriptions, architectural elements and cop- ies of reconstructions of ancient Roman monuments, including the Pantheon. Figure 13.32 Codex Chlumczansky, fol. 85r.: a study of plan and elevation of the Ba- silica Aemilia in the Forum Romanum, surrounded by later additions (vase designs after Giulio Romano, a representation of the Vitruvian figure and a study of a Ionic capital).
