POSTSCRIPT While the last proofs of this book were passing through the press, news reached us from Brescia of the discovery of an interesting cycle of fifteenth century frescoes in a small church known as " La Disciplina" at Remedello Sopra. For details we refer our readers to an article in // Cittadino di Brescia of September 26, 1908, by Don Paolo Guerrini,' to whom the discovery is due, and who states that they are good works of the school of Foppa. The Communal Archives at Remedello are said to contain a great number of documents which may elucidate the subject, and the task of examining them has been entrusted to the writer of the article, who, as already stated, is the Keeper of the Episcopal Archives at Brescia. Interesting results may therefore be expected, and it is possible that some additional light may be thrown upon the life and work of Vincenzo Foppa and upon the history of his school, which would tend to confirm what has been said in the Introduction to this book, with regard to the desirability and necessity of combining documentary research with assthetic criticism. C. J. Ff. R. M. 1 " Reliquie d' arte quattrocentesca a Remedello Sopra."
