I. APRIL, 1895. No. 4. + + +BYZANTINE-ROMANESQUE WINDOWS IN +SOUTHERN ITALY. + + +The collection of photographs from which the plates in this and the +February number were selected was only recently made under the direction +of Signor Boni, an official of the Italian government, charged with the +care and restoration of historic monuments. + +The province of Apulia has been so little invaded by the march of modern +improvement, and its present inhabitants are, as a rule, so poor, that +it is difficult to travel here except on the line of a few main +thoroughfares, and strangers seldom visit more than one or two of the +principal towns on the coast. Bari and Brindisi are known to tourists, +as they are in the line of travel to and from Greece, but the inland +towns are isolated in a barren priest-ridden country in which strangers +are not welcome. The hardships which it is necessary to face deter all +but the most adventurous even of the Italians, familiar with the +language and manners of the people. Architects seldom visit this +neighborhood, and little is known of its rich treasure of mediaeval +buildings, except through the few published works treating of it. Signor +Boni expressed himself as surprised at the great amount of beautiful +work scattered through this region, of which he previously had no +knowledge. The opinion of Fergusson has already been quoted in the +preceding article. + +The mixture in the work here illustrated of Byzantine and Romanesque +elements has also been referred to in the preceding article, but the +special characteristics of each style were not particularly pointed out. +In the present consideration the peculiarities of detail and ornament +are all that need be taken up, as the views given furnish no opportunity +for the study of plan or general design. The derivation of the Byzantine +style was indicated in the March number of THE BROCHURE SERIES in +describing the Ravenna capitals there illustrated. + +Byzantine conventional ornament appears to be of two types,--the one +usually used in mosaics, of thin scrolls, terminating in flowers or +symbols, displayed upon a ground which is much greater in quantity than +is the ornament; the other, usually confined to sculpture, an intricate +interlace of ribbon lines with spaces filled with Byzantine acanthus, +the ornament much greater in proportion than the ground, which only +shows in small separate pieces. Apart from these are the borders, +occasionally of overlapping leaves, often of small repeated units, such +as Greek crosses and squares and diamonds, or else meanders or +guilloches. The guilloche takes a new form in Byzantine design, and +instead of being a continuous succession of small circles enclosed in an +interlacing ribbon, it assumes the form of alternating small and large +circles, or of small circles alternating with large squares, and often +progressing in both directions at once, horizontally and +perpendicularly, and thus forming an all-over pattern. The roses of +ornament are often incorporated into this form of guilloche. Sculpture +of the human form becomes more and more feeble and crude. The acanthus, +however, went steadily through successive variation until it attained +the virile form seen in the best Byzantine work. It is no longer the +olive type of the Romans, or the heavy, stupid leaf of the earlier +centuries of the Christian era, but has again turned towards the +sharp-pointed, vigorous leaf of the Greeks. Its lobes are divided into +three or five tines, each sharp at the tip; its centre lines, radiating +from a central stem, bend like flames; its surfaces are concave, with +deep V cutting, and it has one very marked peculiarity, that is, that as +far as possible no tine is left displayed alone on the ground, but the +tip of each is made to touch either the tip of a neighboring tine or the +ribbon or moulding bounding the space in which the ornament occurs. The +tines are of nearly equal size throughout, and the spaces of ground left +by the ornament are also of comparatively equal size, and if possible +symmetrically grouped. The one almost universal moulding is decorated +with acanthus units, and the capitals have acanthus leaves around their +bells. These caps are of two types. One, that is manifestly an +adaptation of a classic cap, is a union of an Ionic and a Corinthian, or +at other times of a Roman Doric and a Corinthian capital. The other is +peculiar to Byzantine work, and is that shown in Plates XXI. to XXIV. in +the last number. This cap, as at S. Vitale, is often supplemented by +another plainer cap above. The lower cap has its faces decorated with +scrolls, acanthus wreaths, etc., and usually the corners are +strengthened with a decorative unit, leaf or other motive. + +The difference between the Byzantine and the Romanesque arises from the +differences of the races and their environments. The art of seaport +towns, when Commerce was most largely carried on by sea, much more +nearly resembled the art of some great commercial centre on the +seaboard than it did that of its own neighbors inland. + +The art of the seaboard cities in Europe was, then, for many years a +borrowed art from the East, as their people were to great extent Eastern +colonists. It was carried on with a full knowledge of constructive +methods, and a facility in obtaining materials that the inland towns did +not possess; and in consequence it is along the seaboard that is to be +found the persistence of the Byzantine influence. On the other hand, the +interior was peopled by descendants of Ostrogothic tribes mingling with +numberless local peoples. Whatever they touch is necessarily crude at +first, but constantly gaining as they gain facility in working. A +precedent of some kind they must have, and they find it close at hand in +the Roman basilicas. Uncertain, from the result of woful experiments, of +arches of great span, they pack their columns close together and +surmount them with sturdy little arches that have scarcely any thrust. +This arcade of heavy columns carrying absurdly disproportionate arches +is their only motive, and applied inside between aisles and nave, and +outside in successive stories rising one above another. As the masons +begin better to understand their art, the span of the arch increases, +though a large arch for some time does duty merely as a discharging +arch, and has smaller arches beneath and within it. The capitals, at +first crude imitations of classic prototypes, soon become the field for +the grotesque imagination of the workmen, and each differs from the +other and is a mass of light and shade shot with all sorts of uncouth +fancies. Wherever, for some constructive reason, a column is omitted +against a wall, the capital becomes a corbel, carrying the arches. In +many cases the corbels alone are used, and an arcaded corbel course +becomes the favorite termination of a wall in the place of a classic +entablature. Finally the arches are omitted, and the corbels alone +support the eaves. + +It will be noticed that while the Byzantine decorated the interior of +the churches, the Romanesque builder merely constructed the interior and +wrought out the most of his design upon the facade. As a large arch was +to him for a long time a _tour de force_, he naturally beautified the +necessarily large entrance, and the beginning of the development of the +beautiful Gothic portals is seen in the early Romanesque churches. + +The Romanesque is an architecture of inertia, with arches heavily +weighted by great masses of wall, and with broadly contrasting masses of +light and shade. It does not depend for its effect upon intellectual +quality beyond a rigorous sense of simplicity, or upon refinement of +conception or detail, but rather upon size, picturesque mass, and +staccato light and shade. The proportion of capital to column in +quantity of surface was very slight. The proportion of voussoirs to +arches naturally depended upon the size of the arch,--large voussoirs to +large arches, small voussoirs to small arches. Columns were only grouped +around piers and on either side of openings; and lastly, the natural +development of the column in Romanesque work was toward +attenuation,--the later and the better the work, the more slender became +the columns, until at last they were merged into the Gothic +multiple-columned piers. The carving upon the arch-mouldings is, to a +great extent, geometric, consisting of numerous facets cut in the stone, +lozenges, etc.; the so-called dogtooth moulding is a very favorite form +of decoration. All these carved mouldings were picked out in color, +usually in red and green. The acanthus in the Romanesque has lost much +of its vigor, is flat, heavy-tipped, round-edged, and scratched with +V-cuts, and the vine is the leaf preferred by designers. Frequently +masses of wall are cut in geometric diaper patterns, also touched with +color. Borders are not broad; and circular forms, except in the arches, +are seldom used. Romanesque was a barbaric art at the best, and has the +usual virtue of the barbarian,--a directness of attack at the problem in +hand and a simplicity in treating it which is invigorating to see. + + + + +[Illustration: XXV. Window in the Church of S. Teresia, Trani, Italy.] + +[Illustration: XXVI. Window in the Church of S. Teresia, Trani, Italy.] + + +XXV. and XXVI. + +WINDOWS IN THE CHURCH OF S. TERESIA, TRANI, ITALY. + +These two windows have very little to suggest Byzantine influence in +their design. The form and detail are essentially Romanesque, although +there is a certain crispness and piquancy of treatment in the first +(Plate XXV.) which belongs to the Byzantine work. + + + + +[Illustration: XXVII. Window in the Facade of the Basilica at Altamura, +Italy.] + + +XXVII. + +WINDOW IN THE FACADE OF THE BASILICA AT ALTAMURA, ITALY. + +The employment of grotesque beasts supporting the columns at each side +of this window is a very common device in the Italian Romanesque work. +The use of a reversed capital in place of a base for the centre column +is also a peculiar treatment frequently found in Romanesque work. + + + + +[Illustration: XXVIII. Windows in the Facade of S. Gregorio, Bari, +Italy.] + + +XXVIII. + +WINDOWS IN THE FACADE OF S. GREGORIO, BARI, ITALY. + + + + +[Illustration: XXIX. Triforium Window in the Church of S. Gregorio, +Bari, Italy.] + + +XXIX. + +TRIFORIUM WINDOW IN THE CHURCH OF S. GREGORIO, BARI, ITALY. + +The Byzantine architects used pierced stonework with great effect both +in exterior and interior detail. The examples here shown are rather +crude, but effective in the relative scale of parts. + + + + +[Illustration: XXX. Window in the Apse of the Cathedral, Bari, Italy.] + + +XXX. + +WINDOW IN THE APSE OF THE CATHEDRAL, BARI, ITALY. + +The ornament about this window, especially that in the long panel below +it and upon the cyma of the soffit above, is Byzantine in character, +while the columns, with the exception of the capital of the one at the +left, are much more Romanesque. + + + + +[Illustration: XXXI. A Window in Bittonto, Italy.] + + +XXXI. + +A WINDOW IN BITTONTO, ITALY. + +This is not an especially beautiful example, but is an illustration of +the direct and vigorous treatment of the early barbarian Romanesque +builders. + + + + +[Illustration: XXXII. Window in the Apse of the Cathedral, Bittonto, +Italy.] + + +XXXII. + +WINDOW IN THE APSE OF THE CATHEDRAL, BITTONTO, ITALY. + +In this case the beautiful and delicate Byzantine leafage can be seen on +the mouldings of the arch above the window. As in several of the +preceding examples, there is a curious mixture of the two styles. + + + + +The Brochure Series + +of Architectural Illustration. + +PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY + +BATES & GUILD, + +6 BEACON STREET, BOSTON, MASS. + + +Subscription Rates per year. 50 cents, in advance.

Cass Gilbert, George B. Post, and Frank Miles Day, +have awarded the scholarship to William S. Aldrich. Mr. Aldrich has +taken the examinations this year for the first time, although several of +his unsuccessful rivals for the honor have entered before in years past. +He has been for some time in the office of Mr. C. H. Blackall, and has +been engaged upon important work, such as the new Tremont Temple, which +is now approaching completion. + +In 1884 he entered the Department of Architecture at the Massachusetts +Institute of Technology, and completed the two years' special course in +1887, and then went to the office of Mr. John Calvin Stevens in +Portland, Me. He afterwards worked in the Boston office of McKim, Mead & +White, and in the office of Peabody & Stearns, where he was engaged upon +the drawings for the buildings at the World's Fair. As will be seen, he +has had a varied experience and is well equipped to make the best use of +his opportunities for the next two years. + +It has been the custom in recent years with the winners of the +scholarship to delay their departure until midsummer or early fall, but +Mr. Aldrich proposes to start in June. His plan of work has not yet been +entirely fixed, but he will probably spend a large part of his time in +Italy, working in conjunction with the American atelier at Rome. + + * * * * * + +The three other scholarships in which the same problem in design was +employed have also been awarded. For the McKim Fellowship of Columbia +College ten designs were submitted. The award was made to Mr. John +Russell Pope of New York, a graduate from the school in the class of +1894. The Roman Scholarship was also awarded to Mr. Pope. In the +competition for the latter twenty-three designs were entered, and +besides the first award honorable mention was given to Mr. Henry E. +Emery of Nyack, N. Y., Mr. Fellows of Chicago, and Mr. Bossange and Mr. +Ayres of New York, graduates of Columbia College, and to Mr. Percy Ash +of Philadelphia. + +In the University of Pennsylvania Scholarship in Architecture there were +six competitors, and the award was made to Mr. Percy Ash, a graduate of +the University. Mr. Ash has also had several years' practical experience +in the best offices of Philadelphia, such as those of Cope & Stewardson +and Frank Miles Day & Bro. + +Mr. H. L. Duhring, Jr., of the Senior class in the University, was given +second place. + + * * * * * + +The _American Architect_, in an interesting notice of the recent +exhibition of the Boston Society of Architects and Boston Architectural +Club, takes the occasion to comment unfavorably upon the disfigurement +of the catalogue by advertisements, which it says are "most excellent +things in their proper place, but wholly out of place in an exhibition +catalogue." Why this is so it is hard to see, unless the _Architect_ +believes that there is not advertising enough to go round, and that it +should all be reserved for the trade and professional papers. At all +events this is "kicking against the pricks," for it is well known that +the expenses of such exhibitions cannot be met without some outside +assistance, and the most feasible plan that has been found for making +both ends meet is to interest the dealers in materials used in the +buildings represented in the exhibitions. As these dealers are seldom +named on the drawings exhibited, it seems proper that some return should +be made for their most valuable assistance, without which the exhibition +would not be possible. + +The _Architect_ further says: "The position taken by the St. Louis +Chapter A. I. A. was the proper and dignified one, and it ought to be +followed elsewhere. The catalogue of their recent exhibition, although a +much more costly one than either the Boston or the League catalogue, +contains not a line of advertising matter." This is certainly an amusing +misstatement. Instead of "not a line," this catalogue has more space +devoted to advertising than any of the others mentioned. What it would +have been without its sixty-four pages of advertising, yielding an +income of at least $50 a page, we leave others to figure out. Some of +these pages we should prefer to see treated differently, as they do +detract from the illustrations which they face, and they are sprinkled +full of water-closets, radiators, bath-tubs, and various other building +appliances not especially artistic in their suggestiveness. Still there +is considerable taste and care evinced in the arrangement of many of the +pages, and they are well printed on good paper. Possibly this accounts +for the failure of the _Architect_ to recognize them as advertisements. + +The dignified course, it seems to us, is that followed by the committee +of the Boston exhibition. In this case a certain number of pages was +reserved in the catalogue to be devoted to advertising, and the houses +to be represented were given to understand that all would be treated +alike. No cuts would be used, and the pages would all be set in type of +uniform style, thus insuring a desirable ensemble. We think that the +advertising when well presented adds to, rather than detracts from, the +interest of a catalogue. Our only desire is to see it done in good +taste. The display of plumbing apparatus and all manner of building +appliances we do not consider in good taste in this place. + +The secretaries of a number of the architectural clubs have very kindly +responded to our request for notices and reports of their meetings and +proceedings, and we are pleased to be able to give short reports of such +occurrences as are of general interest. There are some clubs, however, +from whom we have not yet heard, and we would suggest that it will be a +help to all concerned if the secretaries of all the architectural clubs +will furnish us with short accounts of their regular meetings and of any +other occasions of importance. We shall be pleased also to publish any +correspondence which will in any way further the interests of these +organizations. We shall be glad to have THE BROCHURE SERIES considered +as the organ of communication between the various clubs, and will place +our services at their command. + + + + +Books. + + +_Examples of Colonial Architecture in Charleston, S. C., and Savannah, +Ga._ Compiled, photographed, and published by Edward A. Crane and E. E. +Soderholtz, Boston Architectural Club, Boston. 50 plates, 11 x 14. +$12.50. + +How much the revival of the classic influence of the early colonial and +the immediately succeeding period is going to prevail in the +establishment of a distinctive American style of architecture it is now +difficult or indeed impossible to determine; but at all events the +reaction from the Queen Anne vagaries of ten years ago to the more +severe mass and chaste detail of the recent so-called colonial houses is +a step in the right direction, and we have much to be thankful for in +the improvement which this tendency has wrought in our recent domestic +architecture. Beautiful and admirable as some of the recent examples of +this work are, very few show the subtle appreciation of design to be +found in many of the older buildings which until the last year or two +have been looked upon as merely the outgrown and cast-off work of an age +much less refined than our own. + +With the very general adoption of this style there has been an +increased interest in the few remaining fine old examples which are +scattered over the Eastern and Middle States, and the best of these are +now familiar to architects. + +Few, however, know anything of the development of this style in the +Southern States, and the work now before us will be a revelation to +those who have not visited the neighborhood of Charleston and Savannah. + +A large proportion of the plates is devoted to Charleston, which owes +its wealth and in fact the greater part of its existence to the +prosperous planters of former days, who made the city a winter resort. + +The most notable house illustrated in the work is the William Bull +Pringle house, built by Miles Brewton in 1760. It has long been famous +as one of the finest houses in the country. Josiah Quincy, who was +entertained by its first owner, speaks in enthusiastic terms of its +beauty and the charm of its surroundings. Fourteen plates are devoted to +illustrating its various features. The two-story portico with a Doric +order below and Ionic above, relieved against the brick front laid in +Flemish bond, the simple but well-designed iron fence, flanked on either +side by a wall with massive brick posts covered with plaster, and all +overgrown with a tangle of foliage, make up a fascinating picture. The +view of the side gateway and a group of darky boys is wonderfully +picturesque, besides being very suggestive as an architectural fragment. + +The detail is delicate and refined, but as a rule lacks the force and +vitality of the Northern work of the same period. The interior detail +shows a marked French influence, especially in the ceilings, mantels, +and stairway. The drawing-room, of which a double plate is given, is +probably without doubt the finest colonial room in the country, and is +certainly a fine piece of design all through. + +One feature in planning which seems to be peculiar to this region, as it +is not found in the houses at the North, is the location of the +drawing-room, which is here on the second floor, usually extending +entirely across the front of the house. There is seldom, however, any +indication of this in the facade by a distinctive treatment of the +second story. But the effect is seen in the interior by the greater +importance naturally given to the staircase hall. + +The Gibbs house, built in 1752, which is shown by several plates, is +also very attractive. The two interior doorways shown on one plate are +among the most refined that we can remember. + +The entrance and staircase hall of the Gov. Bennett house will bear +comparison with anything of its class to be found, and the plates +showing it will be of especial value for interior work. + +The Bull house is of a type apparently common in the older work of this +region. It is square and covered with a hip roof. The front is divided +into three bays, the centre and wider one crowned with a low gable or +pediment. The main floor is high, leaving a basement below and no +cellar; and the front door, an illustration of which we give herewith, +is reached by a double flight of steps protected by an iron railing. +Many of the houses are provided with high fences and massive gateposts. +A number of the plates give fine examples of these and several very +interesting pieces of iron work. + +[Illustration: Doorway to the Bull House, Charleston.] + +Of the churches, St. Michael's and St. Philip's in Charleston are +selected. The former was built in 1760, and is attributed to the English +architect, Gibbs, who is also credited with the old Archdale house, with +how good authority we do not know. + +On the whole, the choice of material is excellent. There is a large +number of plates of detail which for architects' use are always the most +valuable, and the work of the photographer and printer has been done +unusually well. + + * * * * * + +_Catalogue of the Joint Exhibition of the Boston Society of Architects +and the Boston Architectural Club, April 15 to 21, 1895._ Boston: +Published for the exhibition by Bates & Guild. 96 pp., 36 illustrations. +35 cents. + +A continuation of the general subject of exhibition catalogues touched +upon in our last issue as far as it relates to the catalogue of the +Boston Architectural Exhibition. The exhibition itself is quite small +comparatively speaking, including only three hundred and twenty-five +numbers, but, as the illustrations in the catalogue show, is widely +representative and of a high grade of excellence. The contributions are +very largely confined to members of the two societies under whose +management the exhibition is held. This tends to give a somewhat local +character to the exhibition as a whole. Still there is a sufficient +number of important contributions from outside to make a quite +respectable showing. + +The selection of illustrations, the only ground upon which there is +excuse for reviewing the publication, is unquestionably good. There are +thirty-six in all, covering a wide range of subjects treated in a +variety of ways. The reproductions are unusually good, and the book is +neatly and well printed on good paper. The cover, designed by Mr. George +G. Will, is especially attractive and good in design. + + + + +Club Notes. + + +Recruits in the already very considerable list of architectural clubs +are still coming to the front. The latest to be heard from is the +Architectural Club of San Francisco, which was organized on Feb. 26 with +fourteen members, some of whom were members of the old Sketch Club of +San Francisco. It is growing in membership, and gives promise of a +bright future. Rooms have been secured in the Menisini Building, 231 +Post Street. Meetings are held on the first Monday of each month, and a +paper is read and the designs submitted in the monthly competitions are +criticised and the awards announced. The first club exhibition will be +held April 26. Mr. Loring P. Rixford, Room 24, Menisini Building, 231 +Post Street, San Francisco, is secretary. + + + + +Brochure Series Competitions. + + +From time to time, as opportunity offers, competitions in design will be +conducted by THE BROCHURE SERIES. An upright or cabinet piano case, the +subject of the first one, badly needs the attention of good designers. + +The Henry F. Miller & Sons Piano Company of Boston have, for several +years, made steady advancement in the artistic qualities of their piano +cases. They have equipped their factory with a view to special work, and +have unusually good facilities for getting out pianos to order, carrying +out, architects' sketches or those of their own designers to harmonize +with different styles of interior decoration. + +It is their idea to encourage the special designing of piano cases, and +to this end they have placed with the publishers fifty dollars to be +divided into prizes for such designs. Only sketches will be required, +their object being not to use the designs further than to publish the +best, but to get designers to give a little attention to this particular +problem, and so do a little towards creating an interest in the better +design of piano cases. Full particulars, including a structural diagram +and a statement of the technical requirements and limitations, will be +announced in our next issue. + + + + +Personal. + + +As usual at this season, a number of architects and draughtsmen are +planning to go abroad; some for only a few months, and others for a +longer time. Among these are Messrs. H. T. Pratt, Matthew Sullivan, +C. D. Maginnis, and H. C. Dunham, of Boston, and E. K. Taylor and H. L. +Jones of New York. + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Brochure Series of Architectural +Illustration, Volume 01, No. 04, April 1895, by Various + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE BROCHURE SERIES OF *** + +***** This file should be named 19262.txt or 19262.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/1/9/2/6/19262/ + +Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Sigal Alon and the Online +Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** + |
