Abstract: Before her Gothic interlude Venice had welcomed Byzantine ideas in her architecture. San Marco and San Giacometto, for example, were already cross-shaped and domed in the eleventh century much as they still are in the twentieth, and the earlier church of San Marco was probably also cross-shaped and possibly also domed.1 How long or how far such architectural schemes—as distinguished from decoration—continued to follow Byzantine models is not now clear, since there is so little evidence for the fourteenth and most of the fifteenth century, but it seems probable from what we do know that such borrowings persisted little if at all.2
