Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Though the book is short, it is long enough to convey the significance of the theology, and unique perception of the universe, that lay behind the design of the cathedral.
A great idea for tourists interested in more than effigies and arches, this 'pocket book' offers an intriguing insight into what really formed the foundations for such vast constructions - passion and faith.
A few Latin terms I didn't understand, but it didn't detract from the text...I came away wanting to investigate these characters further, which is always a good thing!
