Chartres and the Birth of the Cathedral
Author: Titus Burckhardt
Format: Paperback
Pages: 152
Condition: New

This new and revised edition of Titus Burckhardt's masterpiece, Chartres and the Birth of the Cathedral, is a richly colored window onto the lofty intellectual and spiritual climate that conceived the marvel that is Gothic architecture. A description of the themes of the great doorways and rose windows covers virtually the whole Christian story.

Now featuring a new appendix with three sections, and a new Foreword by John James, a world authority on Chartres, as well as 25 new illustrations, it cannot fail to inspire the reader to become a pilgrim to Chartres.
