Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring medieval society through the lens of Gothic architecture, this work delves into the poetry, mysticism, and philosophy of the era. Inspired by France's great cathedrals, it examines Catholic perspectives on figures like St. Michel and St. Mary, alongside intellectual debates involving William of Champaux, Peter Abelard, and St. Thomas Aquinas. Originally published privately in 1904 and later supported by architect Ralph Adams Cram, this edition offers a rich companion to the author's acclaimed autobiography, printed on premium acid-free paper.
