Stained glass of the middle ages in England & France . and thirteenth centuries,which were doubtless preserved from the oldernave. Thus, if you let your eye run along thenorthern side it will be arrested at the extremewest end of the line by a piece of blue that isdifferent from all the others. It is the twelfthcentury blue that we have seen at St. Denis andin the west windows at Chartres, and the panel isthe portion of a Jesse Tree of the same pattern asthat which is found at both those places, and whichI mentioned when speaking of them. Portions ofthe foliage of the tree are in the tracery above. Ithink I recognize this blue too in a panel on thesouth side representing a man with a horse and cart,and remains of early thirteenth century glass aisles of Ncxt after the clerestory, the oldest windows inthe nave. ^j^^ navc are the first five from the east in eachaisle.
