NOTE. 
 
 HE accompanying pages form the fourth part of a series of 
 
 papers on French Cathedrals” which the author is contrib- 
 uting to the Architectural Record of New York. The part which is 
 here reprinted consists of a chronological summary of the history of 
 all the cathedral churches of France. So far as the author is aware, 
 this is the first attempt to bring together, in one general view, all 
 these churches, whether they are now cathedral, were so in past 
 times, or were temporarily used as such. The utmost pains has 
 been taken to make the list as full and as accurate as possible, and 
 every available authority has been consulted for the dates given. 
 The tables would doubtless have gained much had less condensa- 
 tion been used, but appearing in the pages of a Magazine it was 
 necessary to restrict the tabular matter to the briefest enumeration. 
 
 In preparing these tables it should, perhaps, be added, that all 
 reference to the dates of glass and of tombs or of other monuments 
 have been omitted from specific reference. Both these furnish most 
 valuable data for chronological purposes, but reference to them in 
 the tables would have required more room than could have been 
 given to the subject. Dates of furniture, as choir screens, choir 
 wood work and the like, have been omitted for the same reason. 
 
 The present pamphlet has been reprinted in separate form for 
 distribution among archaeologists, with the hope that those familiar 
 with the histories of the cathedrals will correct any errors in the 
 tables or refer the author to such works as will enable him to modify 
 it wherever necessary. The author trusts most earnestly, therefore 
 that those to whom this pamphlet is sent, and those into whose hands 
 it may fall will render him every assistance in his effort to prepare an 
 entirely trustworthy chronology of the cathedrals of France.

THE CHRONOLOGY 
 
 OF THE 
 
 CATHEDRAL CHURCHES 
 
 OF FRANCE 
 
 f 'Y N the accompanying tables 
 an attempt has been made 
 1 to arrange in a condensed 
 form a chronological his- 
 tory of all the cathedral 
 churches of France. It 
 not only undertakes to tell 
 what part of each edifice 
 was built in each cen- 
 tury, but it also shows the more import- 
 ant structural events connected with 
 each building. It thus includes a 
 record of parts that no longer exist, 
 but which form an integral and invalu- 
 able portion of the life history of every 
 church. The record begins with the 
 eleventh century, save in the case of 
 such cathedrals as were built prior to 
 that time and which have survived to 
 the present day. These buildings are 
 few in number. The ravages of the 
 barbarians, the Huns pressing in from 
 the East, the Normans coming down 
 from the North, and the Saracens from 
 the South combined, with the insuffi- 
 cient methods ot construction, to re- 
 move almost every church and every 
 edifice of any sort well before the tenth 
 century. The early histories of the 
 
 cathedrals are filled with legends of 
 buildings and rebuildings, epochs of 
 decay and of destruction, often many 
 times repeated, but of these almost 
 legendary structures scarce anything 
 has survived. And so, because the 
 records of these early buildings are in- 
 complete, because the facts in them- 
 selves are of small value and are with- 
 out any bearing on the present edifices, 
 all reference to them has beep omitted, 
 save where actual remains have sur- 
 vived. As the eleventh century marks 
 the beginnings of the building era that 
 culminated in the thirteenth, and as the 
 life history of nearly every cathedral 
 may be accurately dated from that 
 time onward, it affords a convenient 
 and decisive epoch from which to be- 
 gin our histories. 
 
 The tables, as has been said, com- 
 prise a chronological summary of all 
 the cathedral churches of France. It 
 thus includes : 
 
 (1) . All the present cathedrals of 
 France. 
 
 ( 2 ) . All churches which have had the 
 rank of cathedral at any time in their 
 history, but which are not now cathe- 
 
FRENCH CA THEDRALS.

 drals in the proper ecclesiastical sense 
 of the word. 
 
 (3) . All churches once cathedral, now 
 destroyed or in ruins, but including only 
 those dating from the eleventh century 
 or later. 
 
 (4) . Temporary cathedrals. 
 
 (5) . Churches which replaced former 
 cathedrals, to which they are, in a 
 sense, successors, but which never them- 
 selves had that rank. 
 
 It needs but a glance for the reader 
 to grasp the fact that the number of 
 churches given in these pages far ex- 
 ceeds the number of cities, and is thus 
 greatly in excess of the number of sees. 
 These, it should be premised, are based 
 upon the exhaustive Series Episcopo uni 
 of Gams.* This list includes all the 
 episcopal sees actually established in 
 France, but it does not include the 
 bishopric of Bourg, which existed for a 
 few years only, and which has been in- 
 cluded in the tables. On the other 
 hand no notice is taken of many primi- 
 tive sees existing before the eleventh 
 century and which have not survived to 
 later times. Thus the primitive see of 
 Noyon is not mentioned, though it is 
 known to have been located at Ver- 
 mand, the identity of which is some- 
 times given as the city of S. Quentin, 
 sometimes as a small village near that 
 city. And it should be further noted 
 that the cathedrals described here are 
 those of France proper alone ; the 
 cathedrals of Corsica and the outlying 
 possessions of France, whose bishops 
 form part of the French hierarchy, are 
 omitted. Nor is any mention made of 
 the bishopric of Bethlehem (French 
 Bethleem ), that most singular of all 
 episcopal sees, a bishop without land or 
 people or church, that found refuge in 
 Clamecy, a small village of the Niver- 
 nais, after expulsion from the Holy 
 Land, and where a whole series of 
 bishops succeeded each other until 1778. 
 
 The large number of edifices listed 
 as cathedrals arises from several causes. 
 In many cities the primitive cathedral 
 was succeeded by a later building with a 
 different name, and frequently on a dif- 
 ferent site. Even where these build-

 licce. Ratisbon, 1873. 
 
 ings have not survived to the eleventh 
 century their names have been included, 
 because this change of name and of lo- 
 cation is an interesting fact in the his- 
 tory of the later building, whose his- 
 tory, indeed, would be incomplete with- 
 out some reference to it. A number of 
 cities had, further, two actual cathedrals 
 at one and the same time, or rather two 
 cathedral churches each with the rank 
 of cathedral, each having its own body 
 of canons and its individual chapter, 
 but with a single bishop. Such was the 
 case with Besanpon, Toulouse, S. Lizier, 
 or, to call it by its ancient Episcopal 
 name, Conserans, and Autun. The 
 cathedral of S. Die comprises two 
 churches, S. Die and Notre Dame, con- 
 nected by a cloister. More striking 
 was the case of the cities of Sisteron 
 and Forcalquier, in which the church 
 of the latter city was recognized as co- 
 cathedral with the mother cathedral of 
 Sisteron, having, in 1061, been given a 
 provost and chapter of its own by 
 Bishop Gerard Caprerius of Sisteron. 
 In all these cities one church finally 
 became sole cathedral. In Besanpon 
 the cathedral of S. Etienne was de- 
 stroyed in 1674, leaving S. Jean sole 
 cathedral ; in S. Lizier the cathedral of 
 S. Marie de la Sede lost its rank of 
 cathedral in 1667, after which date the 
 church of S. Lizier became sole cathe- 
 dral ; the church of S. Jacques of Toul- 
 ouse is not mentioned as cathedral in a 
 charter of Louis VII. , and the suprem- 
 acy of the cathedral of S. Etienne is 
 therefore dated from that time ; in 
 Autun, S. Nazaire ceased to be cathe- 
 dral jointly with S. Lazare in 1770, and 
 eight years later was demolished, save 
 a single chapel. No one generally ap- 
 plicable reason for such double cathe- 
 drals appears to be known. In the case 
 of S. Lizier, however, M. Jules de La- 
 hondes has suggested, and with much 
 apparent probability, that it may have 
 had its origin in the time when the town 
 was divided into two seigniorial dis- 
 tricts, in one of which the bishop was 
 lord un ler vassalage to the Count of 
 Toulouse, and in the other he was ab- 
 solute lord with the Count of Com- 
 minges as his vassal. 
 
 A more notable cause in adding to 
 the number of cathedrals is the ruin

 and decay produced by the progress of 
 time. While only those cathedrals 
 that, in rebuilding, have changed their 
 names or sites, or both, are separately 
 chronicled in the tables, nearly every 
 cathedral in France has been rebuilt 
 several times, so that the present church 
 is in many instances the fourth or fifth. 
 But as the larger part of this rebuilding 
 occurred before the tenth century, for 
 each successive inroad of each bar- 
 barian horde was marked by ruin and 
 desolation, we are only concerned with 
 later changes. A goodly list of cities 
 show two cathedrals because the older 
 had fallen into ruins. Thus the abbey 
 church of S. Caprais became cathedral 
 of Agen in place of S. Etienne, de- 
 stroyed in the Revolution. The cathe- 
 dral of Notre Dame of Alet was 
 abandoned after Protestant injuries in 
 the sixteenth century, and the refect- 
 ory of the abbey of S. Benoit became 
 the cathedral in its place. The cities 
 of Arras and of Cambrai both lost their 
 mediaeval cathedrals in the Revolution, 
 and when the sees were re-established 
 with the Concordat other churches were 
 taken for this purpose. Three cathe- 
 drals at three different epochs suc- 
 ceeded the primitive cathedral of Car- 
 pentras, each rebuilding — an unusual 
 instance — being accompanied with a 
 change of name. Huguenot injuries, 
 which occasioned much injury and harm 
 throughout the whole of France, and 
 was the immediate cause of a vast 
 amount of rebuilding and repair, led to 
 the abandonment of the old cathedral 
 of Notre Dame du Bourg in Digne in 
 favor of the church of S. Jerome, 
 though the older cathedral is still used 
 on certain feast days. The Revolution, 
 which, like the Protestant injuries, oc- 
 casioned so many changes in the 
 churches of France, put the first cathe- 
 dral of Dijon, S. Etienne, to the use of 
 a storehouse, after which it was not 
 used again for sacred purposes, the 
 abbey church of S. Benigne becoming 
 cathedral in 1801. The co-cathedral 
 of S. Mary of Forcalquier was injured 
 in a siege in the fifteenth century, and 
 the church of Notre Dame became 
 cathedral in i486. The cathedral of 
 L’Assomption of Nice might be brack- 
 eted with this, having been destroyed 
 
 in 1530, when the citadel of the city 
 was enlarged, and the cathedral of S. 
 Reparate was built in the lower town. 
 The cathedral of S. Martin, of Montau- 
 ban, was demolished by the Hugue- 
 nots in the sixteenth century, and 
 after using the church of S. Jacques 
 temporarily, the present cathedral of 
 Notre Dame was completed in 1739. 
 The cathedrals of Rennes and of Riez 
 fell several times into decay and were 
 as often rebuilt. The old cathedral of 
 Pamiers was destroyed in the fifteenth 
 century, as was also the later cathedral 
 of S. Antonin, which was rebuilt in the 
 seventeenth centur}^. 
 
 Several new cathedrals were built or 
 made — a somewhat awkward expression 
 that may be used to designate churches 
 not originally built as cathedrals, but 
 afterwards given this rank — because 
 the locality of the first cathedral was 
 deserted by the inhabitants for a more 
 desirable quarter. The older part of 
 the city of Aix, called the Villes des 
 Tours, had fallen into such a state of 
 decay from the Saracen invasions that 
 in the eleventh century the cathedral of 
 Notre Dame de la Sede ceased to be s 
 cathedral, and the episcopal -chair was 
 transferred to the church of La 'Trans- 
 figuration du Sauveur, popularly called 
 S. Sauveur. Similarly with Carcassone, 
 where the lower city began to be settled 
 about the middle of the thirteenth cen- 
 tury, and grew so rapidly that when 
 the Concordat w 7 as made in the present 
 century the church of S. Michel in the 
 Ville Basse was made cathedral in pla<*e 
 of the ancient cathedral of *S. Nazaire 
 in the Cite. 
 
 Closely allied to these are sees and 
 churches transferred from one city to 
 another through the decay of the 
 earlier one. Thus the city of Glandeves 
 was abandoned for the neighboring 
 town of Entrevaux, in the fourteenth 
 century, where the canons first estab- 
 lished themselves in the church of S. 
 Martin, abandoning this, in its turn, for 
 the new cathedral of L’Assomption, 
 begun in 1610. In a similar manner the 
 city of S. Lizier finally absorbed the 
 city of Conserans, but the two churches 
 of S. Lizier and of S. Marie de la Sede 
 were joint cathedrals until 1667. These 
 instances are rather examples of the 
 
FRENCH CA THEDRALS.

 transformation or growth of a city than 
 deliberate transference of the episcopal 
 see, as happened when the see of 
 Eauze was transferred to Auch in the 
 seventh century; as happened again 
 when the see of Aleth was transferred 
 to S. Malo in 1163, when the see of 
 Antibes was transferred to Grasse in 
 1244; that of Maguelone to Mont- 
 pellier in 1527; that of Elne to Perpig- 
 nan in 1662; that of Maillezais to La 
 Rochelle in 1648. The see of Bou- 
 logne-sur-Mer succeeded the see of 
 Therouanne in 1556, after the total de- 
 struction of the former city by Charles 
 V. in 1553. The see of Toul was united 
 to that of Nancy in 1801, and the bishop 
 of that city is now styled the bishop of 
 Nancy and Toul. All these changes 
 were due to the increased importance 
 of the latter cities in later times. 
 
 While all the cathedrals show periods 
 of rebuilding and of destruction of 
 former edifices, the older cathedral has, 
 in a few instances, remained until the 
 present time. Thus the famous ancient 
 church, known as the Basse CEuvre of 
 Beauvais, ceased to be the cathedral of 
 that city in the thirteenth century. The 
 church of S. Etienne, destroyed in the 
 Revolution, was the cathedral of Lyons 
 until the thirteenth century, though 
 the present cathedral of S. Jean, origin- 
 ally the baptistery of S. Etienne, was 
 begun in the twelfth. The religious 
 enthusiasm of the present century has 
 given a new cathedral to Marseilles in 
 place of the old and insignificant cathe- 
 dral of La Major. In Perigueux the 
 abbey church of S. Front was made 
 cathedral in 1669 in place of S. Eti- 
 enne, which is still standing. The need 
 of a new and larger cathedral for the 
 city of Grenoble resulted in the erec- 
 tion of the cathedral of Notre Dame in 
 the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and 
 which was structurally connected with 
 the older cathedral of S. Hugues, a 
 portion of which still remains. 
 
 Another series of churches, whose 
 histories are briefly summarized in the 
 following pages, are those which suc- 
 ceeded, on the same site, to early cathe- 
 drals, though never themselves, so far 
 as the existing or later structure is con- 
 cerned, having had episcopal rank. 
 These include the church of S. Acheul, 
 
 in Amiens, which succeeded the primi- 
 tive cathedral of Notre Dame des Mar- 
 tyrs ; the church of S. Aphrodise of 
 Beziers, cathedral to the middle of the 
 eighth century; the modern church of 
 S. Vincent at Dax occupies the site of 
 the primitive cathedral of that city 
 (cathedral to the eleventh century); 
 the church of S. Etienne at Orleans, de- 
 stroyed in 1562, was a survival of the 
 primitive cathedral (to the fourth 
 century); at Reims the chapel of S. 
 Pierre, in which worship was discon- 
 tinued in 1710 and which was finally 
 removed in the present century, stood 
 upon the site of the primitive cathedral 
 (to the fourth century); in Verdun the 
 primitive cathedral of S. Pierre et S. 
 Paul, cathedral to the fifth century, was 
 succeeded by the abbey of S. Vannes, 
 whose church was removed as recently 
 as 1817. 
 
 Pro-cathedrals, or churches used tem- 
 porarily while a new cathedral was re- 
 building, include those of Arras, Bourg, 
 Marseilles, La Rochelle, Le Mans, 
 Montauban and Rennes. 
 
 II. 
 
 Closely connected with the duplica- 
 tion of episcopal churches in the same 
 city is the question of name. This, as 
 has been explained, adds considerably 
 to the bulk of our list. Yet the ques- 
 tions it raises are more interesting than 
 this. There is comparatively little 
 variety in the dedicatory names given 
 to the cathedrals of France. The 
 greater part of them are in honor of 
 Notre Dame, anj when this designation 
 and that of S. Etienne are set to one 
 side there are relatively few other 
 names to be noted. Differences in 
 name does not imply a difference in 
 cathedral, for in many instances ‘the 
 same church has had various names at 
 various times in its history. Thus the 
 cathedral of Amiens was first called 
 Notre Dame des Martyrs. This was 
 built on a different site from the present 
 cathedral, and has survived, as has 
 been said, in the present church of S. 
 Acheul, in the environs of Amiens. 
 But the present cathedral was first 
 dedicated to S. Pierre et S. Paul; in 
 1159 it was dedicated afresh to Notre 
 
FRENCH CA THEDRALS. 
 
 9 
 
 Dame et S. Firmin; and again, in 1483, 
 to Notre Seigneur, S. Vierge et Tous 
 les Saints, a fact probably forgotten by 
 most of those who know it exclusively 
 as Notre Dame. The cathedral of 
 Seez was first dedicated to Notre 
 Dame. In the sixth century it was 
 known as S. Gervais et S. Protais, but 
 in 1786 it was placed under the patron- 
 age of Notre Dame. A more striking 
 instance is supplied by the cathedral 
 of Valence, primitively dedicated to S. 
 Apollinaire et S. Cyprien; a second 
 cathedral was dedicated by Pope 
 Urban II. in 1005 to the B. V. 
 Marie et S. Corneille et S. Cyprien, 
 and yet, although the name was 
 excluded from this dedication, S. 
 Apollinaire has always been recognized 
 as the chief patron of the cathedral, 
 which is now known solely by his name. 
 Less complicated instances are fur- 
 nished by the cathedral of S. Trophime 
 at Arles, called S. Etienne to 1152; by 
 the cathedral of Notre Dame de Grace 
 of Clermont-Ferrand, primitively called 
 Notre Dame et S. Laurent; by the cathe- 
 dral of S. Julien of Le Mans, called 
 Notre Dame et S. Pierre to the ninth 
 century, then S. Gervais et S. Protais, 
 and, in 1120, B. V. Marie, S. Gervais et 
 S. Protais et S. Julien; by the cathe- 
 dral of Notre Dame de Pomeriis 
 (French des Pommiers) or Notre Dame 
 hors-la-ville, of Sisteron, called Notre 
 Dame et S. Thyrse to 1343; and by the 
 cathedral of S. Gatien of Tours, called 
 S. Maurice to the fourteenth century. 
 In some of these instances, notably in 
 the case of Arles and of Tours, the 
 change in name was brought about by 
 the increased importance given to the 
 worship of the saint in whose honor the 
 later dedication was made. In the case 
 of the cathedral of Sisteron the addi- 
 tion of S. Thyrse to the title doubtless 
 arose from the fact that the preceding 
 cathedral had been dedicated solely to 
 this saint, and it was probably found 
 convenient to drop the name at a later 
 time. Although the cathedral of 
 Besanqon is now called only the cathe- 
 dral of S. Jean l’Evang^liste, the 
 proper title is S. Jean l’Evangeliste et 
 S. Etienne, the title of the sister cathe- 
 dral having been merged with that of 
 the survivor 
 
 And, indeed, we frequently find in- 
 stances where the popularity of one 
 saint has so overshadowed that of the 
 other or others to which it has been 
 dedicated that even the name of 
 Notre Dame has been allowed to dis- 
 appear. The cathedral of S. Flour is 
 an interesting illustration. Though 
 now known wholly as the cathedral 
 of S. Pdour in the city of that name, 
 it was dedicated in 1466, as an inscrip- 
 tion on the fapade tells us, “ to the 
 Honor of God, of S. Peter, Apostle, and 
 of S. Flour, Confessor.” The cathedral 
 of S. Die, once called S. Maurice et 
 Notre Dame, was dedicated to S. Die 
 in 1051. Originally it is said to have 
 been dedicated to SS. Maurice, Exu- 
 pere, Candide et Leurs Compagnons. 
 The adjoining church of Notire Notre 
 Dame, connected with the cathedral of 
 S. Die by a common cloister, was, in the 
 seventh century, dedicated “ en l’hon- 
 neur de la Mere de Dieu, des Apotres 
 Pierre et Paul et de leurs compagnons, 
 des SS. Euchaire, Materne, Maximin 
 et de tous leurs compagnons.” 
 
 The influence of popular will in affect- 
 ing the change of name has no more 
 singular illustration than is supplied by 
 the co-cathedral of Forcalquier. The 
 first co-cathedral of that city was called 
 S. Mary, though it had been primi- 
 tively called Notre Dame. When the 
 church of Notre Dame was made co- 
 cathedral in i486 it was popularly 
 called Notre Dame du Marche, or 
 Notre Dame du Puits. But after as- 
 suming its new rank the people in- 
 sisted upon calling it S. Mary, while 
 the former co-cathedral of S. Mary 
 was then called Notre Dame, both 
 churches exchanging titles in obedience 
 to popular caprice. Another interest- 
 ing example is the cathedral of La 
 Major of Marseilles. The first title 
 of this church is said to have been S. 
 Lazare. But S. Lazarus was the first 
 bishop of Marseilles, at least so tradi- 
 tion says. This at once brings us up 
 before two contradictory facts, of which 
 only one can be true. If S. Lazarus 
 was the first bishop of Marseilles, he 
 could not have dedicated a church to 
 himself ; though an oratory or chapel, 
 in those distant times, might readily 
 have been known as S. Lazarus’s with- 
 
10 
 
 FRENCH CATHEDRALS . 
 
 out having been dedicated to him. But 
 certainly no chapel or cathedral could 
 have been used by S. Lazarus himself 
 that bore his own name. The dedica- 
 tion of L’Assomption, said to have 
 been given to the cathedral later, seems 
 much more likely to have been the 
 first name. 
 
 As for the name of La Major it was 
 doubtless a survival of the Latin 
 Ecclesia major , with which words the 
 church was often described. The pres- 
 ent cathedral of Lyons, S. Jean, was 
 originally the baptistery of the older 
 cathedral of S. Etienne, and with which 
 it was connected by a common cloister, 
 which joined the adjacent church of 
 S. Croix, making a group of three. 
 In the middle ages, even after the 
 thirteenth century, the church of S. Jean 
 was always spoken of and referred to 
 as the major ecclesia Lugdunensis , “ the 
 great church of Lyons.” These words 
 were never applied to the church of 
 S. Etienne even when it was cathedral, 
 but were only used to describe the 
 church of S. Jean, which before it 
 became the cathedral in the thirteenth 
 century was the largest church of 
 the city. 
 
 III. 
 
 No room can be given in this sum- 
 mary to debatable questions, whose 
 number is almost without end. The 
 limits of space forbid the consideration 
 of any of these points until we can take 
 up the individual histories of the cathe- 
 drals. In instances of doubt the most 
 probable date has been chosen and 
 no regard given to problematical con- 
 siderations. The tables are intended 
 only as a brief general record. De- 
 tailed chronological tables of the cathe- 
 drals of Reims or of Chartres or of 
 Paris and of many other great churches 
 would comprise several printed pages 
 each, were every item included. Noth- 
 ing of this sort has been attempted in 
 the following pages, where the utmost 
 condensation has been employed. I he 
 exigencies of a magazine will not per- 
 mit the discussion of authorities or the 
 giving of references, and the works con- 
 sulted in the preparation of these 
 tables are therefore grouped together 
 in a general list. 
 
 In order that the purpose of the 
 Chronological Table may be made per- 
 fectly clear let us briefly run through 
 the history of one cathedral as illus- 
 trated in it, and which may be taken as 
 an index of the entire list. Under 
 Reims wo find, first, S. Pierre, the primi- 
 tive cathedral, whose date is so remote 
 as to be impossible of authentication. 
 Absolutely nothing is known of this 
 church, or oratory, as it probably was. 
 A church that is said to have been built 
 on its site was used for worship up to 
 1710. Later it fell into ruin, and was 
 finally removed in 1793. 
 
 Next is the church of the Saints 
 Apotres, cathedral from 314 to 401; at 
 least, such are the dates claimed for 
 it. This was succeeded by the colle- 
 giate church of S. Symphorien, of whose 
 architectural history nothing is known. 
 It existed in 1793 but no vestige of it 
 remains to-day. 
 
 Of the present cathedral of Notre 
 Dame our record begins with a rebuild- 
 ing in the ninth century. In 1211 it 
 was burned, and the next year the 
 present edifice was begun. It was con- 
 secrated in 1242 and the building 
 almost completed in the thirteenth 
 century. In the fourteenth century 
 the first three bays of the nave were 
 added and by 1381 the western fapade 
 was completed to the King’s Gallery. 
 The nave chapels were added in the 
 fourteenth century. In 1428 the west- 
 ern towers were completed, or rather 
 reached their present height. The 
 cathedral suffered from fire in 1481, 
 the transept tower spires and the balus- 
 trade around the roof being destroyed. 
 Sundry repairs were forthwith made. 
 In the sixteenth century the word 
 “ Restorations” suggests the Protest- 
 ant injuries, which are known to have 
 affected almost all the churches of 
 France. Internal repairs were made 
 between 1538 and 1574. In the seven- 
 teenth century the west portal and rose 
 window were repaired. Between 1742 
 and 1785 many internal changes were 
 made, and under the guise of restora- 
 tion incalculable harm was done to the 
 beautiful mediaeval interior and its 
 priceless art. In the present century 
 the cathedral has been completely 
 restored by the architects Arveuf, 
 
FRENCH CATHEDRALS.

 Viollet-le-Duc, Millet, Ruprich-Robert It is the history of a great church in 
 and Darcy. The most noticeable ex- outline only ; but it may help to fix 
 ternal change has been the rebuilding certain facts upon the memory that 
 of the balustrade. will be useful in more extended study. 
 
 EXPLANATION OF THE TABLES. 
 
 Names of cities are printed in bold- 
 faced type; where there has been a 
 change of name the earlier name of 
 the city is printed in similar type and 
 inclosed in a parenthesis. 
 
 The dedicatory title of the cathedral 
 follows the name of the city. Where 
 there have been several titles to the 
 same church they are sometimes desig- 
 nated in chronological order, as (i), 
 (2), (3). The French form of the names 
 have been retained throughout as 
 seeming likely to be of more value to 
 travelers and students than the Angli- 
 cized form. Where a popular name 
 of a cathedral differs from its full 
 title, the popular name is printed 
 first, the full title following next in 
 parenthesis. 
 
 The figures following the name of 
 the cathedral, if within the parenthesis, 
 indicate that that name was used until 
 that date, when, the present title was 
 substituted for it. Figures outside a 
 parenthesis indicate the dates at which 
 each church had the rank of cathedral. 
 As we are not concerned with cathe- 
 drals earlier than the eleventh century 
 no record is made of the time at which 
 sees then established began. Dates of 
 foundations of sees are only given 
 when later than the eleventh century. 
 
 In a few instances where construc- 
 tions may be indifferently referred to 
 two successive centuries the vertical 
 lines are broken and the portion re- 
 ferred to printed across both columns. 
 
 Words in italic indicate that only 
 those portions of the cathedrals, of the 
 work done in the century in which they 
 are to be found, have survived to the 
 present time. The rebuildings of one 
 century frequently destroyed those of a 
 
 preceding century while still leaving a 
 portion of the earlier work. 
 
 Important and apparently authentic 
 dates have been inserted wherever 
 possible, but these dates only refer to 
 such parts as are named before the 
 next following semi-colon or period. 
 In other words, if a date begins a col- 
 umn it does not indicate that every- 
 thing in that paragraph was done or 
 happened at that time. The table aims 
 only in showing the work accomplished 
 in each century, or the principle events 
 happening in it ; it is, therefore, unsat- 
 isfactory in failing to distinguish be- 
 tween work done at the beginning of a 
 century and that done at the end, 
 which, in most instances, shows great 
 variety and difference. 
 
 Injury, desecration and ruin were so 
 characteristic of the Protestant and 
 Revolutionary epochs in the sixteenth 
 and the eighteenth centuries that, to 
 avoid overcrowding, all reference to 
 such happenings are omitted save when 
 a church was ruined or partly destroyed. 
 Careful readers of the tables will note 
 that the words “rebuilding” or “re- 
 pairs ” in the sixteenth century usually 
 indicates a destruction during the Pro- 
 testant period. To complete the record 
 “injury” should be inserted in the col- 
 umns of the sixteenth and eighteenth 
 centuries in nearly every instance. 
 
 The word chapel is used in a general 
 sense as applicable to any structural 
 chapel (that is, not simple altars or 
 recesses within the cathedral). The 
 words Lady Chapel are applied to the 
 central apse chapel, usually dedicated 
 to Notre Dame and usually called so in 
 France, though more generally known 
 as the Lady Chapel in England.

 BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
 
 The following list includes only works actually consulted in preparing the forego- 
 ing tables. A few important titles have been admitted as no copies are known in 
 America. It is not a bibliography of French architectural history, for many works 
 on this subject do not touch specifically upon the histories of the cathedrals. 
 Neither is it a complete bibliography of the literature of the cathedrals. This liter- 
 ature is exceedingly rich, though the complete history of many of the cathedrals has 
 yet to be written, and books referring to many others are wholly inadequate. Much 
 of this material is to be found only in the publications of the French archaeological 
 societies, and is not referred to specifically, such publications being only mentioned 
 by the serial title. It should be remembered, also, that the books in this list are of 
 very unequal value, some of the most insignificant, however, being the only works 
 on their particular subject, could not well be omitted. 
 
 Books containing references to more than one cathedral are placed in the general 
 list. Special books on special churches are named separately. This division is 
 made for economy of space alone, and without regard to the importance of the pub- 
 lication, for in a number of instances the more valuable book is a general one, not 
 named under the town itself. 
 
 General histories of art, books without text and monographs on glass are omitted 
 altogether. 
 
 Special thanks are due for much valuable information to many correspondents in 
 France, both for information used in the following pages and for assistance in des- 
 ignating authorities. Among these I would return grateful thanks to Mgr. the 
 Archbishop of Chambery ; Mgr. the Bishop of Marseilles ; Mgr. the Bishop of Car- 
 cassonne; M. Jules de Lahondes, President Societe Archeologique du Midi de la 
 France, Toulouse; M. L. de Berluc-Perussis, past President Academie des Sciences 
 et Belles-Lettres d’Aix ; the Canon Albert Brunet, Chancellor of the Diocese of 
 S. Jean-de-Maurienne ; the Canon Th. Cochard, Orleans ; the Canon Leon Bulher, 
 Moutiers ; M. Vialettes, Secretary of the Diocese of Rodez and Vabres ; M. F. J. 
 Boyer, Secretary of the Diocese of S. Flour ; the Canon J. M. Le Mene, Vannes ; 
 M. Michel Hardy, President of the Societe Historique et Archeologique du Peri- 
 gord, Perigueux ; M. J. Aug. Dupurcet, President of the Societe de Borda, Dax ;

 Works in English on the cathedrals of France are wholly inadequate. Most of 
 them were published in the early part of the century and are without the value of 
 the broader archaeological scholarship of more recent times. There are no general 
 or special works of any value, in English, relating to the cathedrals.
