GREAT CATHEDRALS – Bernhard Schultz [HC, 2002, Like New] Bernhard Schultz’s Great Cathedrals is a richly visual and deeply informed exploration of Europe’s most iconic sacred structures, tracing how centuries of engineering innovation, artistic ambition, and religious devotion shaped the cathedrals that still define the continent’s cultural landscape. Schultz examines the evolution of cathedral architecture from Romanesque solidity to the soaring verticality of the Gothic, highlighting the craftsmanship behind stone vaulting, sculptural programs, stained glass, and the symbolic geometry that guided medieval builders. Through vivid photography and clear, authoritative commentary, the book reveals how these monumental buildings functioned as expressions of civic pride, spiritual aspiration, and artistic achievement. A beautifully produced volume for readers of architecture, art history, and the enduring legacy of Europe’s great sacred spaces. FREE MEDIA MAIL SHIPPING TO ALL U.S. ADDRESSES!
