portal-chapel as an androne, which is any kind of a space for

passage extending beyond the wall penetration of a portal. I think that it will take more than the document of 1507 to

demolish the solidly founded proposition that the New Sacristy was begun by Lorenzo il Magnifico before his death in 1492.

To the Editor: In "Architecture and the Housing Market: Nineteenth Cen-

tury Row Housing in Boston's South End," JSAH 52 (1993): 159-178, we inadvertently neglected to acknowledge the valuable support in 1979 of the South End Historical Society and its very capable curator at this time, Jean Follett-Thompson, in research- ing the South End deed transactions. We deeply regret this oversight.

To the Editor: I am grateful to Howard Saalman for his letter regarding the

Ginori corridor of San Lorenzo in Florence. In his letter Saalman suggests that the "Androne di ginoli" mentioned in the document published in my article of September 1993 (JSAH 52:339-44) was "the still-existing portal chapel on the north flank of the nave," visible at the bottom of my Fig. 3. In my article I did not mention that this portal chapel, is, in fact, listed at a subsequent point in ACSL 2634 as follows: "Cappella dove e luscio de novitii."' The

compiler of the inventory places this chapel with an exit door between the Cappella di Luca di Marco and the Cappella di Bernadetto de' Medici, exactly where it is found on the plan of the church. Given that the inventory clearly lists the portal chapel that Saalman identifies as the Ginori corridor elsewhere, I stand by my identification of the "Androne di ginoli" mentioned in ACSL 2634 as the corridor chapel identified by Burns in 1979.2

1. ACSL 2634, fol. 15v [16v mod. num.]. The inventory informs us that a wooden relief of the Madonna was placed above the door, "Sopra luscio una n[ost]ra donna di legniame di rilievo . . ."

Sacristy: An Early Plan," Mitteilungen des Kunsthistorischen Institutes in Florenz 23 (1979): 150-51.

Correction: In the article by Jack Quinan, "Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum: A Historian's Report," JSAH 52 (1993):

466-482, the sentence on p. 482, col. 1, lines 5-9 should have read: "With the skylight reopened, the final turn of the ramp returned to

exhibition space, and the interior surfaces refurbished, the rotunda space more closely approximates Wright's original intentions in 1959

than it has for many decades, and the exterior surfaces of the rotunda are smoother than ever before." The editor apologises for the error.
