Reviews

Smaller, more concise, and more streamlined than a traditional monograph, it emphasizes a series of graphics developed from Tallon's 3D-scan data, which together purport to show the development of Notre-Dame over the nine centuries of its history. In this way it helps to make the fruits of recent research on the cathedral's history readily accessible to nonspecialist readers. The new translation undertaken by Lindsay Cook, who studied with both Murray and Tallon and whose own research considers parish churches constructed in the orbit of Notre-Dame, now effectively expands that mission to anglophone audiences. -Robert Bork, caa.reviews With up-to-date scholarship and information from a laser scan now being consulted for the repairs of Notre Dame, this survey is at once authoritative and accessible, an important addition to the specialist and non-specialist libraries alike. -Nancy Wu, Speculum
