Elizabeth C Teviotdale
Proposes a common prototype from the tradition of illustrated manuscripts of Cassiodorus’s Institutiones as the explanation for the close iconographic relationship between music illustrations in a manuscript (here dated to the 11th century) of the De arithmetica and De musica of Boethius (Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, MS C.128 inf.) and in the 12th-century Codice Magno (Piacenza, Biblioteca Capitolare, MS 65). Suggests that the iconography may have originated in a Carolingian scriptorium.

A Speculation On An Affinity Between Ruskin's Seven Lamps Of Architecture And Monet's Cathedrals, Elizabeth Teviotdale
Elizabeth C Teviotdale
Discusses John Ruskin’s architectural aesthetics and his view of the Gothic style as expressed in his Seven Lamps of Architecture. Discovers similarities between Ruskin’s ideas and the ideas and methods of Claude Monet, evident in his series of paintings of Rouen Cathedral, 1892-1895. Describes how Ruskin’s theories grew out of and advanced beyond the aesthetics of the Gothic revival movement, and how Monet’s paintings relate in a similar way to earlier 19th-century depictions of Gothic architecture. Ruskin’s redefinition of the picturesque is seen as the key to establishing a relationship between his theories and Monet’s paintings.
