Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Romance of the French Abbeys Scattered throughout the length and breadth of France, almost forgotten in their out-of-the-way nooks, the abbeys, though forsaken and ruinous, still afford fascinating shrines of pilgrimage to the thoughtful tourist. The architect will find in them the entire development of the Romanesque and Gothic styles and the first dawn of the Renaissance. He will feel a brother´s pride in the achievements of the architect monks of Cluny, who travelled even into other nations building the abbeys of their order, as well as in the engineering exploits of that other brotherhood who wore the red hammer embroidered upon their sleeves, the Freres Pontifes, or bridge-builders, who spanned great rivers with fortified bridges which endure to this day, that pilgrims might journey to the Holy Land, and while constructing the Pont Saint Esprit, which crosses the Rhone, believed that the divine Son of the Carpenter laboured with them.
