For a guided tour of the Camaldolese monastery of Santa Croce at Fonte Avellana (starting with the scriptorium, of which John of Lodi was once director), go to: http://www.fonteavellana.it/visita_guidata_parte_I.htm And to see John himself, in repose at the cathedral of Gubbio, go to Bill Thayer's diary, 30 June 2000, at: http://www.ku.edu/history/index/europe/ancient_rome/E/Biographical/Diary/edited/0600/30.html and scroll down (it's the last jpeg on the page, two down from a very appealing lizard).
