Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism

---

Professor Erwin Panofsky's study, ''Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism,'' captured and holds an eminent place in a series that is not without distinction, the Wimmer Lectures. Erwin Panofsky, in "Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism," indicates with grace and humanistic breadth the profound correlation between the development of Gothic architecture and the growth of scholastic philosophy. He succeeds, as few others have, in showing how architectural style and structure provided visible and tangible equivalents to the scholastic definitions of the order and form of thought. "Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism" is therefore not only an important contribution to the history of art, but to the history of ideas as well. In conclusion, this book is in-depth inquiry into the fascinating analogy of the arts, philosophy, and religion in the Middle Ages by the eminent art historian, Erwin Panofsky. It discusses this exploration of the Middle Ages and examines how Gothic architecture developed in parallel with Scholastic philosophy through a period of very great intellectual activity. Numerous illustrations analyze characteristics of Gothic cathedrals and how their design evolved over time. 60 illustrations included.
