Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. WHY BUY from book sellers who fail to describe the ACTUAL condition of the book you're focusing on? We take pride in examining each book individually and describing its condition accurately, warts and all. THIS is a very good +, slightly oversized hardcover. (8" x 11") As so rated, the spine is square, binding tight, corners sharp and NOT bumped, and is internally clean and NOT marked. The dust jacket, now enclosed in a removable mylar sleeve, is similarly rated very good +. The dust jacket is bright, complete, and NOT price-clipped. 127 pages, profusely illustrated, some in color. QUOTED in part from the dust jacket flap: "Medieval Europe was distinguished by the spectacular development of religious architecture from the eleventh to the thirteenth centuries - eighty cathedrals, five hundred great churches, and more than ten thousand parish churches. In France alone, more stone was quarried in this span of three centuries than during the entire history of ancient Egypt.Jean Gimpel brings into perspective the momentum generated by the stimulus of invention and the adaptation of a religious impulse to the needs of a remarkable age. He explores the political, financial and spiritual role of the churchmen who inspired the construction of such marvels as Chartres, Rheims, Saint-Denis and Notre Dame de Paris. He traces the careers of St. Bernard and the powerful Abbot Suger, showing how parish rivalry influenced architectural styles; and he describes the ingenuity of the engineers and technicians, particularly Villard de Honnecourt. He describes, too, how the association of quarrymen, masons and sculptors later evolved into guilds and the societies of Freemasons. The book concludes with an account of the decline of the 'cathedral crusade' at the end of the thirteenth century, when the religious fervour of the Middle Ages began to wane and canon law clashed with Roman law, when technical progress and economic expansion were virtually halted and the Hundred Years' War brought ruin and misery." SHIPS from Eugene, Oregon, USA. INTERNATIONAL orders may require additional postage and surcharges, please inquire. Location: case. Codice articolo ABE-1642276756985
