A propos de cet article

Folio (14" x 11-1/2"). 3 volumes. Raw linen with gilt lettered red calf spine labels. Decorative endpapers. Title pages printed in red and black. Profusely illustrated with photos ground plans and drawings. With interior in near fine condition, with some light foxing to bindings and blank leather panel of first volume with wear along edges, leather panel of volume two with small hole, panel of volume three blank as well. Extra shipping costs required. Few early medieval documents have been studied as intensively in recent years as the architectural scheme known as the Plan of St. Gall. And few possess the broad imaginative scope of this ancient parchment, drawn between 820 and 830 A.D. to guide Benedictine monastic planning in the age of Charlemagne. In 1979 the University of California Press published a three-volume study, "The Plan of St. Gall". Pro Helvetica decided to introduce the Plan to an even broader audience through an exhibition designed to travel in the United States and Europe. Designed by Ernest Born, this book not only compliments that exhibition but stands independently of it. A succinct text captures the essence of the Plan in its historical, cultural, and spiritual contexts. It is supported by over 100 illustrations, many in color, reproduced from the three volumes of "The Plan of St. Gall" to the same exacting standards of typography, printing, and paper. Also included is a note on architectural models by Price and Born, illustrated with color photographs of the site model of the Plan of St. Gall. -- From publisher's description. Contents: v. 1. Previous literature, origin, purpose & [i.e. and] special problems ; The monastery church ; The cloisters and the abbot's house ; The monastic polity; v. 2. The guest and the service buildings -- The plan of St. Gall and its effect on later monastic planning; v. 3. Synopsis of the work : a schematic outline of the work -- List of illustrations, volumes I, II, III -- Appendix I: A catalogue of the explanatory titles of the Plan of St. Gall / by Walter Horn -- Appendix II: Preface / by W.H. [i.e. Walter Horn] ; The customs of Corbie -- consuetudines corbeienses / a translation of the directives of Adalhard of Corbie by Charles W. Jones -- Appendix III: Preface / by W.H. ; The significance of the Plan of St. Gall to the history of measurement -- a link with Roman, and English and American systems / by A. Hunter Dupree -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- Chronological table -- Index to Volume I, II, III -- Corrigenda, errata -- Colophon.…
