Lower Chapel, foun= ded in 1433 : five Brasses, 1429-1560, three of which are painted on the surface. The Treasury Chapel, erected in the XV cent., is very rich in relics divided into the Greater and the | Lesser Relics. The Greater Relics, presented’ to Charlemagne by the Patriarch of Jerusalem and the Emperors of Constantinople, con= sist of — 1, The outer robe worn by the B. V. on festal occasions; itis of cotton, 5 ft. long; the ends of the sleeves are ornamented, in a manner strikingly like the borders of the linen cloths im» which Egyptian mummies prior to the Christian era are found) wrapped. — 2, The swaddling-clothes in which Christ was wrap-) ped ; they are of a yellowish cloth as coarse as sacking, made of linen and wool mixed, and are falling to pieces from age. — 3, Ay Jong cloth on which the head of S.
