From The Discovery of Piranesi's Final Project:

More of the quiet calm, like a strengthening swell, maybe.
I did think about perhaps seeking out any of the other American-born descendants of Ferdinand Lauf and Juliana (Arndt) Lauf. I wonder who presently lays claim to the Lauf farm in far south-western North Dakota. At this point, my brother and I might just be the last of the generation of Ferdinand and Juliana's great grand children, with the generation of great great grand children being close to my brother and I in age.

Do I just go about recording my thoughts each day?
Use cad 'negative' plans for 1778 new circus drawings, maybe even with copper colored backgrounds.
Francesco was the workshop French translator.
Piranesi saw all the new circus plans etched on the copperplates; the Circus of Caligula and Nero was etched last. I will be cad redrawing all the original circus plans before 9 November.
Record all the ancient authors/texts for each circus in the Catalogo, and try to collect all the circus passages within the Il Campo Marzio text.
