Description
Medieval Europe witnessed the spectacular flowering of religious architecture. In this illustrated portrait of an age, Jean Gimpel gives an account of astonishing feats of engineering and artistry. He explores the political, financial, and spiritual role of the men who inspired such cathedrals as Canterbury, Chartres and Notre Dame. The author further describes the ingenuity of the technicians, the rivalry between parishes, and the creation of guilds and craftsmen's societies
