About This Book

The author presents a compact history and architectural description of the cathedral of Paris, tracing earlier churches on the site and surveying construction phases, sculptural programs, stained glass, and episodes of repair and restoration. Chapters situate the building within the development of French Gothic and examine exterior façades, towers, roofline, and grotesques, then analyze interior arrangement—nave, aisles, triforium, transepts, choir, and sacristy—alongside liturgical uses and civic pageantry. The volume concludes with a list of bishops and numerous illustrations, plans, and elevations to clarify structural and decorative details.
