what to do besides staying green:

make a chronology with the history of other churches from the Paris area - DONE
label digital pix a bit and print some out
make a list of all the pictures that need to be redone
do the description. DONE IT BUT IT NEEDS TO BE MADE NEATER
write down the history of St Martin d CH with all the document sources AND CHECK if they are right/ accessible if possible. WORKING ON IT
analyse the architectural structure
analyse the capitals and bases - DONE A BIT WITH THE CAPITALS ALREADY. NEED TO REREAD WHAT IVE READ ABOUT IT AND COMPARE THEM TO OTHER CONTEMPORARY ONES.
find parallels in book illuminations and other contemporary art (STARTED! IVE GOT QUITE A LOT OF PHOTOCOPIES OF CONTEMPORARY SCULTPTURE AND ILLUMINATIONS BY NOW. JUST HAVENT HAD TIME TO DO ANYTHING WITH THEM)
get the bibliography finally sorted (HMM, ID SAYIT IS SORTED; ALTHOUGH THERE WILL ALWAYS BE NEW THINGS. I CANT GET TO THE 1636 MARRIER TEXT UNLESS I GO TO THE BIB.NAT. WHICH I MIGHT DO NEXT TIEM IM IN PARIS IF THEY ALLOW ME IN WITH MY DIRTY BOOTS. I VE SELECTED THE TEXTS THAT ARE HIGHLY HIGHLY RELEVANT AND PUT THEM INTO A SEPERATE FOLDER NOW. LOVELY.)

dedication act of Philipp Ist (Original lost, copy: British Museum, Add. Mss. No. 11662, fol. 6)

....quod ecclesiam Sancti Martini prope Parisius sitam que vocatur de Campis, quam, tyrannica rabie destructam et pene ad nichilum redactam, pater meus supradictus renovare et reaedificare studuerat, et multis beneficiis et donariis ditaverat atque ornaverat, et canonicoe quamplures coenobialiter viventes ibidem aggregaverat, post mortem ipsius dedicari feci, et opus quod pater meus, mortis subripiente articulo preventus, conplere non potuit, ego pro ipso supplevi. Ad cujus dedicationem celebrandam.. ego ipse presentiam meam obtuli.
