FOOTNOTES:

11 Carton, Les Trois Frères van Eyck, p. 36.

12 Marc van Vaernewijck in a MS. of 1566-8, describing the Ghent troubles, states that on the 19th of August, two days before the iconoclasts plundered St. Bavon, the picture of the Mystic Lamb was removed from the Vijdts chapel and concealed in one of the towers. See the MS., Van die Beroerlicke Tijden in die Nederlanden, recently printed at Ghent (1872), p. 146. On the same page in which Vaernewijck relates this story he says that he refers his readers, for the lives of the Van Eycks to his book, Mijn leecken Philosophie int xxe bouck. This book, which probably still exists on the shelves of some library, has not as yet been discovered.
