What is the point of an index if the page numbers "may, on occasion, appear on only one" of the pages listed? Apparently, this is for the benefit of the digital users. But what about the benefit of the readers of the actual physical book? #academicpublishing

The Broletto is the main civic complex in Novara. The building is famous for its purist reconstruction in the 19th century, but I would love to know if the frescoes on the upper rim have some historical basis. So many fantastic belligerent figures!

The cathedral of Novara has been rebuilt, but it preserves some 12th-c. spolia and a handsome 15th-c. reliquary bust of the 11th-c. saint Bernard of Aosta.

Cheers from Novara! I have two hours until the archives open - so I will be exploring the city.
