Cap. XXXI. Brick-makers and quarry-men must abide by the rules of the guild.
Cap. XXXIV. On those who lie against others.
Cap. XXXV. Those who demand a meeting or consultation shall pay fifteen soldi to the guild.
Cap. XXXVI. That the Grand Master on retiring from office shall call three riveditori[217] to examine his accounts.
Cap. XXXIX. That no master of woodwork shall work in stone.
Cap. XL. The Breve (statutes) shall be revised every year.
Cap. XLI. On the entry into the lodge, of Masters from the city or neighbourhood.
The statutes are very fair and well composed, and must certainly have been made from long experience in the guild.
In 1447 we find a further split. The Masters of wood-carving secede from the sculptors in stone, and form their own statutes. Little by little, as art becomes more perfect and requires more freedom, the Masonic monopoly of centuries is dissolving.
