Fine Modern Gothic:
The source of most of these designs is the later phases of Gothic architecture, either EnŽglish or French. Ralph Adams Cram seemed to resume the architectural thought of his Gothic forebears after a lapse of four centuries. These modern Gothic designs are distinct from churches of the Gothic Revival in that they have a certain facility of handling and a freedom and freshness that recapture much of the spirit as well as the forms of the past and adapt them to modern purposes. Why this should be so is not clear. Cram's knowledge of Gothic was proŽfound, but so was Pugin's.Among these are the Town Hall (Victorian Gothic revival) with hisŽtorical mural paintings by Ford Madox Brown, the Central Library (Greek revival), and the Town Hall Extension (Modern), which together form a municipal block; the Cathedral, built beŽtween the 13th and 19th centuries, with its fine modern Gothic interior woodwork; the Rylands Library (late Gothic revival) in Deansgate, internally and exŽternally an architectural gem; the Free Trade Hall, Assize Courts and Royal Exchange, all severely damaged by air raids; and the univerŽsity, a group in varying styles.

On The Other Hand See Italian Modern French:
Transition from Medieval to Modern Forms of Romance Languages. French, SpanŽish, and Italian modern French, as we know them today, did not really exist before at least the 13th century. Until that time, there were a large number of French, Iberian, and Italian modern French dialects, one of which, in each instance, asserted itself as the national tongue.Many copies of the manuscript were made during the nearly two centuries that preceded the first European printed books, and one of these in French, Marco presented to a French nobleman in 1307, as appears in a note on the manuscript copy preserved in the National LiŽbrary in Paris. Eighty-five manuscript copies in Italian modern French, French and Latin are preserved in museums and libraries. One of the first printed ediŽtions of record was an Italian modern French version published in 1559 by Marco Polo's first editor 'and biograŽpher, John Baptist Ramusio. In 1824 the French Geographical Society printed from a manuscript written in Old French what is considered by modern scholars the best of the texts. Indeed, it is now generally agreed that the original narraŽtive was dictated and written not in Italian modern French but French.
