Excerpt from Franciscan Legends in Italian Art: Pictures in Italian Churches and Galleries A list of books that I have used will be found in the Bibliography; for modern attributions of pictures I have been guided mainly by the revised edition of Crowe and Cavalcaselle, and by such critics as Mr. Fry and Mr. Berenson. On dis puted points, such as the attribution of the Upper Church Crucifixion to Cimabue, and the date of the Giotto Allegories in the Lower Church, I have followed Mr. Fry. My special indebted ness to Herr Thode will be sufficiently obvious, but must none the less be gratefully expressed here. My references are all to his edition of 1904.
