Résumé
Via Santissimi Quattro Re-reading the 11 frescoes of the Saint Sylvester chapel implies including a 12th, a Last Judgement located above that of the leprous Constantine refusing to kill 3000 innocents, which from fourth becomes first fresco. The story is then not only tighter but, in using the twelfth fresco as its matrix, creates its own pictorial narrative code. (385)
