Excerpt from The Principles of Gothic Ecclesiastical Architecture: With an Explanation of Technical Terms, and a Centenary of Ancient Terms
Germany, and perceiving the defenceless condition of their allies, turned round upon them, and, ere long, made a conquest of their country. In the struggle which then took place, the churches were again destroyed, the priests slain at the very altars,d and though the British Church was never annihilated, Paganism for a while became triumphant.
Towards the close of the sixth century, when the conversion of the anglo-saxons to Christianity was effected through the instrumentality of Augustine, Mellitus, and other zealous missionaries from Rome, and churches were wanting for the converts, St. Gre gory, the head of the Papal church, and the pious originator of the mission, recommended Mellitus to use the heathen temples as churches, after destroying the idols they contained. These, and such churches built by the Roman or British Christians as were then existing, and, though in a dilapidated state, capable of being repaired, may reasonably be sup posed to have been the prototypes of the churches afterwards erected in this country.
In the early period of the empire the Romans, who derived their knowledge of classic architecture from Greece, imitated the Greeks to a certain extent in their public buildings of magnitude. Some of the constructive and decorative features of Roman archi tecture were however different to those of pure Grecian design; and a style was formed more mere tricious in effect, and of greater richness in detail.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an authoritative insight into the origins, history, and evolution of Gothic Architecture. As a fascinating introduction to English ecclesiastical building design spanning 800 years, from the Anglo Saxon period until the Reformation, it is a valuable resource for students, enthusiasts, and casual readers alike. Beginning with an exploration of the origins of Gothic architecture in Romanesque and Norman styles, the author traces the development of pointed arches, flying buttresses, ribbed vaulting, tracery, and other defining features. By examining the influences of these elements on the aesthetics and engineering prowess of Gothic architecture throughout various historical periods, the text demonstrates how churches evolved into symbolic testaments to the era's theological, social, and cultural values. From the austere beauty of Norman to the intricate embellishments of Perpendicular Gothic, the architectural shifts explored in this book unveil a legacy of creativity and artistic expression. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781334242915_0
