Gunter Bandmann analyzes the architecture of societies in western Europe up to the twelfth century that aspired to be the heirs to the Roman empire. He examines the occurrence and recurrence of basic forms not as stylistic evolutions but as meaningful expressions of meta-material content and develops an architectural iconography of symbolic, historical, and aesthetic elements.

Résumé:
One of the most famous books in the world, the ''Hypnerotomachia Poliphili,'' read by every Renaissance intellectual and referred to in studies of art and culture ever since, was first published in English by Thames & Hudson in 1999. It is a strange, pagan, pedantic, erotic, allegorical, mythological romance relating in highly stylized Italian the quest of Poliphilo for his beloved Polia. The author (presumed to be Francesco Colonna, a friar of dubious reputation) was obsessed by architecture, landscape, and costume- it is not going too far to say sexually obsessed- and its 174 woodcuts are a primary source for Renaissance ideas on both buildings and gardens. In 1592 an attempt was made to produce an English version but the translator gave up. The task has been triumphantly accomplished by Joscelyn Godwin, who succeeds in reproducing all its wayward charm and arcane learning in language accessible to the modern reader.

Au cours du Moyen Âge se dessinent les contours d'une nouvelle Europe urbaine. Elle constitue l'armature du réseau des villes actuelles. Peut-on parler de « ville médiévale » ? En tout cas avec l'implosion du monde romain, la ville de l'Antiquité disparaît lentement tandis qu'apparaissent de nouvelles réalités urbaines qui ne se laissent plus circonscrire par le cadre politique et spatial de la cité. Entre les VIIe et Xe siècles, des modèles originaux d'urbanisation se développent, le plus souvent hors du bassin méditerranéen qui fut le berceau de la civitas. Les siècles du « grand progrès » (XIe-début XIVe siècle) sont aussi ceux du développement de nouvelles communautés urbaines. S'y inventent non seulement des manières particulières de travailler, d'habiter et de cohabiter, mais aussi de nouvelles pratiques de gouvernement. Aussi les villes ont-elles peut-être été, dans l'Europe des États monarques que le Moyen Âge lègue à l'époque moderne, les laboratoire des sociétés politiques.

Résumé:
The popular image of the traditional western city has usually been dominated by the cathedral, whose sheer size seemed to create an isolated physical and spiritual focal point. In this iconoclastic study, the author sets out to reverse some of the romantic myths which have accrued about the medieval cathedral, in particular that the cathedral was a separate entity, self-sufficient, sublime and apart. Here the cathedral is shown to be a dynamic, evolving and unpredictable force in the development of the medieval city. Taking France as the main focus, but including material on England, Germany, Italy, Spain and Bohemia, the author describes the growth of diocesan authority and the consequent experiments in the layout of cathedral plans.

Here, Henri Pirenne argues that it was not the invasion of the Germanic tribes that destroyed the civilization of antiquity, but rather the closing of Mediterranean trade by Arab conquest in the seventh century. The consequent interruption of long-distance commerce accelerated the decline of the ancient cities of Europe. Pirenne challenges conventional wisdom by attributing the origins of medieval cities to the revival of trade, tracing their growth from the tenth century to the twelfth.

The author, stressing the continuum between art and architecture, challenges understandings about agency, modernity, hierarchy, and marginality. His book makes a powerful case for the restoration of the category of the aesthetic to the understanding of medieval art. Gothic Wonder traces the impact of English art in Continental Europe, ending with the Black Death and the literary uses of the architectural in works by Geoffrey Chaucer and other writers.
