Download or read book French Gothic Architecture of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries written by Jean Bony and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gothic architecture is the most visible and striking product of medieval European civilization. Jean Bony, whose reputation as a medievalist is worldwide, presents its development as an adventure of the imagination allied with radical technical advances—the result of a continuining quest for new ways of handling space and light as well as experimenting with the mechanics of stone construction. He shows how the new architecture came unexpectedly to be invented in the Paris region around 1140 and follows its history—in the great cathedrals of northern France and dozens of other key buildings—to the end of the thirteenth century, when profound changes occurred in the whole fabric of medieval civilization. Rich illustrations, including comprehensive maps, enhance the text and themselves constitute an exceptionally valuable documenation. Despite its evident scholarly intention, this book is not meant for specialists alone, but is conceived as a progressive infiltration into the complexities of history at work, revealing its unpredictable vitality to the uninitiated curious mind.

Download or read book The Cistercians in Wales written by David Robinson (M.A., Ph. D.) and published by Reports of the Research Commit. This book was released on 2006 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive study of the churches and monastic buildings constructed by the Cistercian order in Wales. It covers fourteen abbeys situated across the principality and its borders, recognised by the Cistercians of the later Middle Ages as their 'province of Wales'. Welsh Cistercians have been comparatively well served by their historians, their buildings, however, have attracted far less scholarly attention. David Robinson's work will correct this imbalance, and represents the first attempt in modern times to assess and understand the above and below ground remains of this highly significant group of abbeys. The first part of the book is a survey of the available evidence, both of upstanding remains and excavated foundations, for all the known Cistercian buildings in Wales. This forms the basis for an analysis of their architectural characteristics and the identification of several distinct phases of growth and change. The book concludes with a gazetteer of the fourteen Cistercian abbeys which are the subject of the study, consisting of a comprehensive account of the archaeology and architecture of each site. The whole work is accompanied by newly commissioned plans, drawings and photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Fondée par saint Bernard en 1115, l’abbaye de Clairvaux connut un rayonnement extraordinaire dans l’Occident médiéval et donna naissance à la branche la plus féconde de l’ordre de Cîteaux, avec plus de 360 maisons d’hommes. Entièrement rebâti au XVIIIe siècle, le monastère fut supprimé en 1790, ses bâtiments vendus comme biens nationaux puis transformés en maison centrale de détention en 1811. Malgré la richesse de ce passé, l’abbaye demeura pourtant dans l’ombre de son fondateur jusqu’à la création de l’association Renaissance de l’abbaye de Clairvaux en 1979, puis l’organisation du premier colloque sur l’histoire de Clairvaux en 1990. Vingt-cinq ans après, le neuvième centenaire de l’abbaye constitue une nouvelle étape dans la production historiographique claravallienne comme en témoigne la publication des Actes de ce deuxième colloque organisé à Troyes et à Clairvaux du 16 au 18 juin 2015. À travers une vingtaine d’essais répartis en quatre axes principaux, les auteurs dressent un bilan des dernières recherches de ce Temps long de Clairvaux et jettent les bases des études à venir : des îles Britanniques au Portugal, en passant par la Catalogne et la Sicile, ils nous conduisent le long de ce rameau si fertile ; de la porterie de l’abbaye-mère aux confins de la Transylvanie, ils racontent l’intégration des moines blancs dans le monde des campagnes et des villes ; de la bibliothèque du monastère aux créations de Le Corbusier, ils interrogent la culture de Clairvaux et l’existence, réelle ou imaginaire, d’un « art cistercien » ; enfin, du XVe au XVIIe siècle, ils nous présentent les figures de deux abbés entraînés dans la tourmente du Grand Schisme et des écueils de la commende."
