Excerpt from Description de la Sainte-Chapelle
Lorsque saint Louis eut assuré à la France la possession des insignes de la Passion que l'empereur latin de Cons tantin0ple se voyait contraint de livrer à prix d'argent, il chargea en même temps ses orfévres de les envelopper des plus riches métaux, et son architecte, Pierre de Mon tercan, de leur construire une grande châsse ouvragée comme un filigrane, tout illuminée de verrières, toute respiondîs9ante d'or et d'azur. Jamais ordre roya' ne fut mieux exécuté. Ce reliquaire sans pareil que voulait le saint rm, maitre Pierre l'a réalisé en élevant la Sainte Chapelle. On croit une saint Louis posa la première pierre6 LA sainte - chapelle.
