Soc. des Antiquaires de France, vol. lxiii, Paris; 1904, p. 117, quoting G. Bonnamour, in Le Gaudois, May 23, 1904. The small book on El Santo Cristo de Lezo (printed by J. Baroja, San Sebastian, 1908) in referring (pp. 17, 18, 19) to the history of the Christ of Lezo, quotes three of the various legends which have arisen concerning its origin, but in none of these three is England mentioned. Although a cursory examination, at a distance and in a poor light, of such parts of the sacred image as were exposed to view at the time of my visit, did not lend itself to a confirmation of any theory as to the origin of the figure, the above quotation seems worth citing as a contribution to the history of English exportations to Spain of church furniture.

page 136 note 1 Mâle, E., in his Religions Art in France of the Thirteenth Century, London, 1913Google Scholar, figs. 115 (a sculpture of a doorway), and 110 and 117 (glass windows), shows three examples ; in figs. 115 and 116 the Virgin's canopy as well is architectural. Rupin, op. cit., shows (figs. 518, 519, 520) two thirteenth-century statuettes, of copper repoussé and engraved, of the Virgin and Child, whose enamelled thrones are each decorated in front with four tiers of small arches. He also shows (pl. xlviii, fig. 636) a fourteenth-century morse, including an enthroned Virgin, somewhat resembling the present one, and, like her, holding a standing Child on the left knee, whose throne appears to be represented as made of blocks ; the surface of this morse is of champlevé enamel, and has the figures—which are of copper repoussé, engraved and gilt – in relief.

page 137 note 2 Figs. 222, 223 show, for example, a small enamelled figure of this kind, with a hinged door in the back of the throne ; fig. 288 shows a thirteenth-century custode for the Holy Sacrament, in the form of an engraved and gilded copper figure of the same kind, with a hinged door in the Virgin's lap ; figs. 289, 290 show a similar custode in the form of the Virgin without the Child ; and there is a chapter (pp. 459) seqq.) which deals with ‘Vierges reliquaires’, and gives illustrations of several and a list of others.
