Church Notes: the remaining east end of the former cathedral is listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA04000005]: "Groupe épiscopal mentionné dès le 5e siècle. Construction de l'église au 12e siècle (il reste l'abside romane). Après les guerres de religion, nouvelle cathédrale édifiée à partir de 1604 dans l'enceinte de la ville, mais les évêques continuent de siéger dans leur palais de la Sed qu'ils font aménager à partir de 1654. Ensemble vendu à la Révolution. Il servira ensuite de pensionnat, d'hôpital, de colonies de vacances..."
Entry #629 in the Catalogue du musée de Digne (1909-1938) [https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k62340423/texteBrut] [accessed 6 March 2023] lists a triangular fragment of what is believed to have been a round baptismal font possibly of the 5th century; this entry gives the fragment size (H=26, L=77, R=38), abouth an 1/8 of the whole original font, and describes the scene as a lamb leaving a forest and making its way to the Lord: "Cuve baptismale circulaire, en beau marbre blanc, dont il ne reste qu'un fragment triangulaire, un huitième environ, et la base seule, mal conservée et brisée en partie. On y voit seulement des brebis sortant d'un bois, figuré par deux arbres et une broussaille, et se dirigeant vers le Sauveur. Ve siècle?"; the provenance is given as Glandevez [sic], a gift of Mr. Paul Morel, pharmacist at Entrevaux; date 1882. A later report by Jacques Thirion, L'ancienne cathédrale de Glandèves, in Collectif 1992b, pp. 11-22, describes the marble fragment in some more detail, with reference to the museum catalogue [cf. supra]: he mentions lambs, not just one, leaving a forest made up of two trees and a bush, making their way towards the Lord; Thirion notes that it could perhaps be the fragment of a baptismal font and that it is hypothetically dated to the 5th century. The fragment is illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: MHR93_04040642ZA]: "Base de cuve."
