[zur späteren der beiden Hände im Codex Coner]: 

They [= die Zeichnungen des zweiten Zeichners – B.K.] are not very much later in date than the original series: from their style and the character of the handwriting, they would appear to belong to the middle of the sixteenth century; and this view is confirmed (1) by the fact that the artist saw one of the internal bases of the temple of Mars Ultor in the church of S. Marco (130b), whereas Coner had drawn it in its original position (124b), and (2) by the legend to the two capitals of No. 142 in casa [di] M. Anton[i]etto delle Medaglie - a dealer in antiquities, who appears as the owner of a house on the slopes of the Quirinal in 1546, and is several times mentioned by Pirro Ligorio ; further by a curious parallelism between the sketchbook in its enlarged form and some drawings by an unknown artist, formerly in the Destailleur collection, and now in the Kunstgewerbemuseum at Berlin. Three of these drawings (the only ones which appear to have any relation with Coner) are reproduced below (Figs. 3, 4, 6) by the kind permission of Dr. Jessen, Director of the Library of the Kunstgewerbemuseum, and a table of comparison is given in Appendix III. [=: Fig. 3 = Hdz 3826; Fig. 4 = 3827; Fig. 6 = 3829, – B.K.]
