First part of 5-part history of the development of Gothic in the
churches of the Paris Basin, 1120-1250. The Creation of Gothic
Architecture is a five-part illustrated thesaurus of the Early
Gothic churches in the limestone region of northern France known as
the Paris Basin. It focuses on the transformation from romanesque
togothic architecture during the years between 1120 and 1250, and
when complete it will provide a comprehensive pictorial history of
the 1,420 churches of the Paris Basin. Most of these churches,
which represent a vital step in theevolution of western European
architecture, are barely known outside the region, and have been
little recorded. The completed project will: provide a photographic
description of all the more significant churches; analyse
stylisticchanges to foliate capitals and vault-erection techniques;
establish a foundation for dating the contruction phases of the
churches; and, using this chronology, will identify the time and
place for each of the creative ideas, inventions and innovations
that produced the gothic style, follow their evolution from place
to place, and identify the major creators. Dr JOHN JAMES is a world
authority on medieval architecture, author of oversixty books and
articles.
