To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of Lombard times there is little more to be seen. The only important relic that stands to tell us of those early times is the font in the centre of what is called the Atrio di Pilato, which forms one of that curious assemblage of Bologna 141 churches under one roof which is now termed San Stefano, and which we shall visit pres- ently. It bears the name of a Lombard king, Luitprand, who lived in 744. Beside it there are some columns in another of these churches, called Santa Trinita, which are L...ombard, and in all probability yet another church under the same roof, called San Sepolcro, preserves the shape and appearance and is built upon the site of a Lombard erection. We then have to make a big stride to the middle ages, when Bologna became an impor- tant independent free city, having been govern- ing itself from 960, with more or less freedom, and growing rapidly into a strong powerful place. ** San Stefano, to which already so much reference has been made, is so strange an ag- glomeration of churches and so ancient in its building, that there perhaps something can be learned of the very earliest work in Bologna in the middle ages.
