Metamorphosis of a Death Symbol
This chapter is in the book Metamorphosis of a Death Symbol
Appendix List and Categories of Transi Tombs The transi tombs discussed in this work are representative of over 200 tombs located by the author. A catalogue of all of them is included in the author's The Changing Meaning of the Transi Tomb in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Europe, available on University Microfilm, No. 69-3583. In the catalogue each tomb is described, known inscriptions are recorded, complete bibliography is given, and, where possible, the tomb is illustrated. In addition to extant transi tombs the catalogue contains descriptions of tombs which have been destroyed, but which were previously recorded. Undoubtedly many more have been de-stroyed without leaving a trace and others exist in locations unknown to me. I have recently located another in the crypt of the church of St. George, Hradcany, Prague, which could be added to the list. The catalogue contains tombs from France, Germany, England, Switzerland, and the Lowlands. None were located in Spain, nor any in Italy that met the specific criteria used for the transis. The eighteenth- and nineteenth-century tombs mentioned in the postscript were not included in the original catalogue which listed tombs from the fourteenth through the seventeenth centuries. The following list, which is arranged geographically and chronologically, lists each tomb with its original catalogue number : France 1. Thomas de Saulx (d. 1391), St Chapelle, Dijon 2. Charles de Hangest (d. 1393), Davenescourt 3. Guillaume de Harcigny (d. 1393), Laon 4. Cardinal Jean de Lagrange (d. 1402), Avignon 5. Leo Degari du Mousset and Zolimari Bourgois (d. 1408), Paris 6. Nicholas Flamel (d. 1418), Paris 7. Cardinal Pierre d'Ailly (d. 1420), Cambrai 8. Robert Touse (d. 1.422), Rouen 9. Jacques Germain (d. X424), Dijon 10. Richard de Chancy and wife (d. 1434), Dijon 189
