The city of Göttingen is home to many important medieval churches. The panorama of the building histories, the uses and the variety of forms extends from the 13th to the 16th century and even up to the present day, since the churches have always been changed again and again. The church buildings are the most visible evidence of an era long past. The book reveals this treasure and takes the reader on a journey through time, in which the six preserved churches are examined in detail in a way never seen before.

The only document we have by a 13th-century architect, the Album of Villard de Honnecourt has been the subject of writings by art and architectural historians since the 19th century and has been considered the work of an amateur since the 1970s. Jean Wirth sheds new light on the question, based on a philological study of the manuscript, and proves that Villard himself is the author of the technical drawings relating to construction. He goes on to provide convincing analyses of the art of drawing and its numerous applications, from drawing from nature to architectural plans. Drawings relating to engineering, geometry and stereotomy are treated individually, in order to convey as clearly as possible the technical processes they illustrate. An examination of the architect’s travels, the monuments he saw and his stylistic evolution allows for an accurate, corrected chronology of this work, previously considered outdated. This intelligent and detailed study will be a landmark in the rehabilitation of Villard de Honnecourt’s reputation. L'Album de Villard de Honnecourt est le seul document personnel que nous ait laissé un architecte du XIIIe siècle. Connu et exploité par les historiens de l'art et de l'architecture dès le XIXe siècle, il a été considéré comme l'œuvre d'un amateur depuis les années 1970. Jean Wirth reprend le problème à partir de l'étude philologique des écritures contenues dans le manuscrit et montre qu'il faut attribuer à Villard les pages dont les dessins techniques relatifs à la construction passaient pour l'œuvre d'un continuateur. Dans une série de chapitres alertes, il analyse ensuite l'art du dessin et son adaptation à la multiplicité des tâches, du dessin d'après nature au relevé architectural. Les dessins relatifs à l'ingénierie, à la géométrie et à la stéréotomie sont traités un à un, afin de clarifier autant que possible les procédés techniques qu'ils transmettent. L’examen des déplacements de l’architecte, des monuments qu'il a vus et de son évolution stylistique mène ensuite à une rectification de la chronologie de son œuvre qu'on croyait retardataire. Cette étude s’affirme avec intelligence et précision comme une réhabilitation de Villard de Honnecourt ; elle fera date.

This book offers a novel perspective on one of the most important monuments of French Gothic architecture, the Sainte-Chapelle, constructed in Paris by King Louis IX of France between 1239 and 1248 especially to hold and to celebrate Christ's Crown of Thorns. Meredith Cohen argues that the chapel's architecture, decoration, and use conveyed the notion of sacral kingship to its audience in Paris and in greater Europe, thereby implicitly elevating the French king to the level of suzerain, and establishing an early visual precedent for the political theories of royal sovereignty and French absolutism. By setting the chapel within its broader urban and royal contexts, this book offers new insight into royal representation and the rise of Paris as a political and cultural capital in the thirteenth century.
