Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the genesis and development of Gothic architecture, from its origins in Romanesque through its apogee in the 13th and 14th centuries. The author traces the evolution of structural techniques, such as the rib vault and pointed arch, that facilitated the creation of soaring cathedrals. By analyzing the interplay between architecture and the broader cultural and religious context, the book illuminates how Gothic structures functioned as expressions of medieval spirituality and as symbols of civic pride. The book not only provides a comprehensive overview of the subject but also offers insights into the enduring cultural and artistic significance of Gothic architecture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330035481_0
