Faint Study of a Pointed Arch and Vault
Architectural construction lines recovered after restoration
The e-Leo note records that this leaf appeared blank, without writings or drawings, before restoration. The recovered image reveals a faint architectural study: a tall pointed arch spans the sheet, crossed by radiating dotted construction lines, while a fan of coursed voussoirs and a springing vault fill the lower centre. No text is transcribed for this page, and the drawing survives only as a ghostly underlayer.

Pointed arch and springing vault
A large pointed (Gothic) arch is laid out across the sheet with faint radiating and dotted construction lines. Below the crown, a fan of coursed masonry voussoirs marks the springing of a vault or arch, drawn in the manner of a working setting-out diagram.
