[[Milan]]

It is far from being finished altho' [although] the
work of it has been continued slowly for
some 100 years past.

We visited the [[Ambrosian Library]]
w'ch [which] is neat & pretty, and ~~as well as~~ the Hall of
Statues & Paintings adjoining. In the former
of these two are many Copies of ancient Sculpture
brought from [[Rome]] & [[Florence]]. In the
latter are a few excellent Paintings by [[Raphael]],
[[Reubens]], [[Titian]] & [[Leonardo del Vinci]]; but the
two most striking ones are, 1st, a fine [[Magdalen]]
by [[Titian]], & 2'ly [secondly] a most exquisite Portrait of an
~~very~~ old Man just sitting down to write with
a Pen in one hand, & a pair of Spectacles
in the other, done by [[Fide Gallitia]] a young
Lady at the age of 18 years. Tis near 200 years
old, & the young Lady has been reckoned amongst
the most famous Painters, & not without Reason.

After dinner we took a view of the
inside of the spacious Cathedral; there are 6 Rows
of Columns - 3 on each side to support the Roof;
they have a light elegant appearance -

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
