SECTION XLIV. We will now take the pillars of the Ducal Palace in their

order. It has already been mentioned (Vol. I. Chap. I. Section XLVI.)

that there are, in all, thirty-six great pillars supporting the lower

story; and that these are to be counted from right to left, because then

the more ancient of them come first: and that, thus arranged, the first,

which is not a shaft, but a pilaster, will be the support of the Vine

angle; the eighteenth will be the great shaft of the Fig-tree angle; and

the thirty-sixth, that of the Judgment angle.
