Notre-Dame-de-Chartres, probably the most impressive and exciting building of the Middle Ages, is one of the few to have been preserved almost intact. This cathedral, which appeals so deeply to scholarship and to fantasy, to the researcher and the devout, seems to pose as many riddles as the Sphinx. Was there a mystical genius behind the plan? What was the complex blend of numbers, geometry and symbolism used in its creation? John James's detailed work on the cathedral, the most exacting study made on any medieval monument, has revealed the answers to many of these tantalising questions. We have no names for the architects of Chartres, and yet it is not the work of anonymous men. By examining every stage of the construction, the author has isolated all the master masons, and shows that each of the masters had his own measure, his own technique of geometry and his preferred style of carving. And yet the mystery remains, for throughout the many building campaigns, a wonderful artistic unity was maintained. Although no documents or legends survive from which we can know the masters, John James brings them alive. His detailed reading of the stones of the cathedral reveals an enormous amount about these men; how they solved problems of engineering and design, and which other famous monuments they helped to create. The masters devised structures, skeletal and open, that are totally modern, with an engineering skill that was not to be repeated until the nineteenth century. They set new standards that were so successful that their influence can be felt in every country where Gothic is to be found.

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.
