Dictionnaire raisonné de l'architecture française du XIe au XVIe siècle
A dictionary of French architecture from the 11th to 16th centuries, written by Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc and published in Paris by B. Bance in 1854 for students and practising architects. Its plates show measured drawings of Gothic corbels, capitals, mouldings, roof sections and plans, rendered in clean line engraving, which offer a designer precise examples of carved stone ornament and structural profile.
