eenth
century, small, but interesting, and said to contain some precious
works by Cima da Conegliano, and one by John Bellini.

GIOVANNI NOVO, CHURCH OF ST. Of no importance.

GIOVANNI, S., SCUOLA DI. A fine example of the Byzantine Renaissance,
mixed with remnants of good late Gothic. The little exterior cortile
is sweet in feeling, and Lazari praises highly the work of the
interior staircase.

GIUDECCA. The crescent-shaped island (or series of islands), which
forms the most northern extremity of the city of Venice, though
separated by a broad channel from the main city. Commonly said to
derive its name from the number of Jews who lived upon it; but Lazari
derives it from the word "Judicato," in Venetian dialect "Zudega," it
having been in old time "adjudged" as a kind of prison territory to
the more dangerous and turbulent citizens. It is now inhabited only by
the poor, and covered by desolate groups of miserable dwellings,
divided by stagnant canals.

Its two principal churches, the Redentore and St. Eufemia, are named
in their alphabetical order.

GIULIANO, CHURCH OF ST. Of no importance.

GIUSEPPE DI CASTELLO, CHURCH OF ST. Said to contain a Paul Veronese:
otherwise of no importance.

GIUSTINA, CHURCH OF ST. Of no importance.

GIUSTINIANI PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal, now Albergo all' Europa. Good
late fourteenth century Gothic, but much altered.

GIUSTINIANI, PALAZZO, next the Casa Foscari, on the Grand Canal.
Lazari, I know not on what authority, says that this palace was built
by the Giustiniani family before 1428. It is one of those founded
directly on the Ducal Palace, together with the Casa Foscari at its
side: and there could have been no doubt of their date on this ground;
but it would be interesting, after what we have seen of the progress
of the Ducal Palace, to ascertain the exact year of the erection of
any of these imitations.

This palace contains some unusually rich detached windows, full of
tracery, of which the profiles are given in the Appendix, under the
title of the Palace of the Younger Foscari, it being popularly
reported to have belonged to the son of the Doge.

GIUSTINIAN LOLIN, PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal. Of no importance.

GRASSI PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal, now Albergo all' Imperator d'
Austria. Of no importance.

GREGORIO, CHURCH OF ST., on the Grand Canal. An important churc
