Faint Study of an Arch and Vault Springing
Ghostly Gothic construction lines seen after restoration
The e-Leo note records this leaf as blank, without writings or drawings, before restoration. The recovered image shows a faint architectural study of a tall pointed arch whose curved coursing springs across the sheet, met by radiating dotted construction lines and the intrados of a lower arch. No text is transcribed for this page.

Springing of a pointed arch and vault
A pointed arch and its coursed springing are drawn faintly across the centre of the sheet, crossed by radiating and dotted setting-out lines. A second, lower arch is sketched below, giving the appearance of a working diagram for a vaulted structure.
