Quoted text:
“The perimeter was square or rectangular; within this two main cross streets form the basis of the strict structure—the decumanus, through the center of town, and the cardo, usually bisecting the decumanus at right angles, towards one end.”
Can someone with access to the 2nd edition of this A.E.J. Morris text (A.E.J. Morris, History of Urban Form: Before the Industrial Revolutions [2nd ed., New York: 1979]) help us verify the quotation and find a page number (is it p. 39 as cited for Illustration 9.12 earlier in this paragraph, or a different page?)?
