The Baptistery, which is a few yrs more mature than the Leaning Tower, is a stately rotunda, of big dimensions, and was a pricey framework. A Pisan antiquarian gave me an ancient tear-jug which he averred was full four thousand many years old. To be buried in these kinds of floor was regarded by the ancient Pisans as staying more powerful for salvation than a lot of masses bought of the church and the vowing of several candles to the Virgin.
