From the Collection Pierre-Adrien Pâris Dessins at the Bibliothèque municipale de Besançon:
77.
Plan of a basilica [actually Old St. Peter's, Vatican, plus two plans in the lower left corner copied from Piranesi's Ichnographia Campus Martius]
Might this actually be a student-work drwaing by Francesco Piranesi?

timepiece/humanity note 204
With regard to the next millennium and the circle/square juncture about 200 years from now, I am going t make a century by century list of the organs the present will pass through over the next 1200 years (until the heart).
2000 CE Colon transversum, bottom tip of liver and stomach, duodenum, both kidneys, bottom of pancreas, bottom tip of 2nd and 3rd lower ribs, top of second vertebra below the rib cage.
2100 CE Colon transversum, stomach, liver, duodenum, both kidneys, pancreas, more of the lower rib cage, bottom of first vertebra below the rib cage.
2200 CE Colon transversum (greatly reduced), stomach, liver, gall bladder, both kidneys, duodenum, pancreas, more lower rib cage tips, top of the first vertebra below rib cage, outer edge of diaphragm.
2300 CE Colon trasversum (very top only on one side), stomach, liver, gall bladder, both kidneys, top (beginning) of duodenum, pancreas, a little more of diaphragm, rib cage (that starts to join up in the front), bottom of first vertebra to sprout lowest rib bone, spleen.
2400 CE (No more colon transversum), stomach, liver, omentium minus, liver, l. falciforme hepatis, gall bladder, very top tip of duodenum, both kidneys, pancreas, diaphragm, rib cage and spinal column, spleen.
2500 CE Stomach, liver, ometium minus, one kidney, pancreas, spleen, diaphragm, ribs and spinal column, no more duodenum (small intestine).
2600 CE Stomach, liver, diaphragm, omentium minus, (no more kidney), spleen, glandula suprarenalis, rib cage (probably getting close to point of closure in the front) and spinal column.
2700 CE Stomach, liver, diaphragm, lungs, spleen, rib cage and spinal column.
2800 CE Stomach, liver, diaphragm, lings, esophagus, spleen, rib cage, rib cage and spinal column, (closure in front of rib cage).
2900 CE Very end of stomach, liver, diaphragm, lungs, esophagus, rib cage and spinal column.
3000 CE Very end of liver, diaphragm, lungs, very beginning of heart, rib cage and spinal column.
3100 CE (No more diaphragm), lungs, heart, rib cage and spinal column.
0205.
It seems indeed true that the next millennium will indeed be a very intensely pluralistic time (relative to the many organs that the present will pass through) and the transition manifested by the diaphragm will also be a change from plurality to a symmetrical unity with a very dynamic center.

The first six chapters of The Timepiece of Humanity are available at www.quondam.com/44. (The web pages there were designed for viewing on a wide computer screen, and, thus, not phone reader friendly.)
The seventh chapter of The Timepiece of Humanity, "(chronosomatically) Contemplating the Navel," is available at www.museumpeace.com/17. (Again, the web pages are not phone reader friendly.)
The Timepiece gauge with the plane of the present positioned at anno 1543 and manifesting the transverse section of the male body through the navel.

Reading 'conceptio' (a feminine noun) means (1a) a comprehending; hence concretely, a circuit, compass: the system of the universe [and here Vitruvius is cited as the source of the concrete meaning] again today made me wonder anew as to the significance of the compass of the Ichnographia matching exactly the plan of the Porticus Neronianae.
Was Piranesi covertly delineating the "system of the universe?"
