Geschichte der Baukunst in Spanien
A German-language history of architecture in Spain, published in Stuttgart in 1858 by Ebner & Seubert and written by José Caveda y Nava, Paul Heyse and Franz Kugler for scholars and students of building. The pictures are black-and-white engravings of Gothic and Moorish monuments: a tall ornate altar or retable, a ground plan with a central square and round sanctuary, a vaulted cathedral interior with clustered piers, and a cross-section with a carved capital. A designer could draw on their dense, precise linework and the layered ornamental detail of ribbed vaults, tracery and capitals.
