Excerpt from The Comacines Their Predecessors and Their Successors

This small volume is an attempt to trace in outline only the story of what, in some respects at least, may be regarded as the most remarkable guild of builders which Europe has produced, and is the outcome first of a lecture and then of articles in the Antiquary and the Transactions of the Leeds Installed Masters' Association.

Signor Riviora has, I believe, in his work entitled Lc Origiui dell' Architettura Lombarda, published in 1908, reached some of the conclusions I have drawn, especially that which links the Comacines to the Collegium of classical Rome.

I have not seen his book, however, nor that of Professor Merzario, and hence have come to my conclusions independently of them. My obligation to Leader Scott's Cathedral Builders, published in 1899, I have acknowledged in my pages.
