Notes

  • The mother covenant has born all the construction costs, including lab equipment
  • Most of the construction took place in 1224, and the chapter house only has an independent economy from 1225.
  • There is equipment for one additional lab, intended for Serapis but not yet installed
  • The mine starts generating income in 1227 and reaches full capacity in 1228.
