Alain Erlande-Brandenburg. L'Église Abbatiale de Saint Denis: Tome II, Les Tombeaux Royaux, Société Internationale De Diffusion Et D'editions Scientifiques, 1979.
"Église Abbatiale de Saint Denis: Tome II, Les Tombeaux Royaux" focuses on the royal tombs housed in the Basilica of Saint-Denis, one of the most significant medieval abbey churches in France. This pamphlet is part of a larger scholarly series dedicated to the study of the architecture, art, and history of the basilica, particularly as the burial site for French kings and queens.
The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the royal tombs located in Saint-Denis, which holds the remains of many French monarchs from the Merovingian era to the 19th century. It examines the art and symbolism of the tombs, the historical context of their creation, and their significance as part of the French royal tradition. The second volume, Les Tombeaux Royaux, delves deeply into the artistic and political importance of these monuments, tracing their evolution over centuries and highlighting the role of the basilica as the center of royal burial and commemoration.
This is a black and white pamphlet with photos and accompanying text. The spine has some shelf wear, but it is otherwise in fine condition. This book is in French. The dimensions are approximately 6x8.5 in. 9782868610010.
I'm asking $25.
