The chapters, written by an international group of scholars, cover
the subject from many different angles. They encompass wide-ranging
case studies that address architecture, manuscript illumination and
stained glass, as well as questions of liturgy, religion and social
life. Topics include the early medieval churches that preceded the
current cathedral church of Notre-Dame and cultural production in
the Paris area in the late 12th and early 13th centuries, as well
as Paris’s chapels and bridges. There is new evidence for the
source of the c. 1240 design for a celebrated window in the
Sainte-Chapelle, an evaluation of the liturgical arrangements in
the new shrine-choir of Saint-Denis, built 1140–44, and a
valuable assessment of the properties held by the Cistercian order
in Paris in the Middle Ages. Also investigated are relationships
between manuscript illuminators in the fourteenth century and
representations of Paris in manuscripts and other media up to the
late 15th century. Paris: The Powers that shaped the Medieval City
updates and enlarges our knowledge of this key city in the Middle
Ages and is for Medieval Archaeologists and Historians.
