Note 1007 — Chapter III
Reading edition
Bancroft (v. 200) gives references on these points, and particular note may be taken of Veytia, i. 18, 155, 199; and Brasseur, Hist. Nations Civ. iv. 182. Cf. also Nadaillac, p. 351. Bandelier (Archæolog. Tour, 248, 249) favors the gradual growth theory, and collates early sources (p. 250). Bancroft (iv. 474) holds that we may feel very sure its erection dates back of the tenth, and perhaps of the seventh, century.
