DESCRIPTION:

John James has devised coherent techniques for analysing the detailed construction history of existing stone structures. This he has called toichology. To further his research he made a three-year survey of all the Early Gothic churches in the Paris region, visiting some 3,500 buildings.

His most important discovery has been that all churches of this period were constructed in many short campaigns by mobile building teams, and that major innovation was more likely to occur in the smaller buildings than in the larger.

This volume includes 42 of the author‘s studies on the development of Gothic architecture in France and England, often reprinted from hard-to-find journals.
