Cathedral of Lyons13

The old jubé was demolished by the Huguenots in 1562, and rebuilt by the canons in 1585, as was proved by the following inscription, cut on a marble slab:—

QUOD. BELL. CIVIL LICENTIA.
FOEDE. DISIECTUM FUERAT
D.O.M. PROPITIO. CAN. ET COM.
LUG REST. CC. AN. MD.LXXXV.

This screen was entirely demolished in the revolution of 1790.—Thiers’s Dissertation sur les Jubés.
