The purpose of the project is to provide the most up-to-date survey
on issues dealing with practical geometry and how it might have
been applied in the design of medieval architecture.
Chronologically, the topics cover a wide span - from early Medieval
through Late Gothic. Geographically, the monuments under discussion
range from Early Medieval Florence through Carolingian Germany,
Crusader Cyprus, Romanesque France and Gothic England. The
applications of both geometry and metrology are considered in this
volume, often with illustrations generated by computer-assisted
design (CAD) software. The project therefore offers recent
scholarship in the field, as well as cutting-edge technology which
helps propel the pursuit of such studies. To this end, the project
is the first of its kind both in terms of its focus and its
comprehensiveness. Such a project is sorely needed to introduce
this highly specialized discipline to other historians of art,
history, and science of the Middle Ages, as well as historians in
most humanistic areas.
