Abstract

The pier arrangement in Suger's choir of Saint-Denis is partially ambiguous. The Carolingian choir reconstructed by Wyss, which was based on Lobbedey, confirms that Suger's choir included two compound piers adjacent to the east side of the crossing and a series of ten round piers further east than the compound piers. This is the same arrangement of piers as in the choirs of Noyon cathedral and of Saint-Germains-des-Prés in Paris; the three churches introduced the round piers in the entire area of their choirs, except that the supports adjacent to the crossing retained compound forms. The early stage of the diffusion of round piers is characterized by the partial subsistence of compound piers in both groups of churches.
