These draft studies have been written as if all carvings were by an individual whereas they can equally be analysed as template modes employed by a number of carvers. The more personal approach was necessitated by the complexity of the data. The drafts will be reconsidered after I have added the rib vault material to the database. |
Capitals for Cambronne-lès-Clermont, Saint-Étienne
X
The building sequence is based on my on-site analysis of the construction history,
using the techniques developed on the cathedral of Chartres called toichology, and described in a number of publications.
The analysis of some of the smaller churches are more approximate than I would like, and need further analysis.
I have used 'phase' rather than 'campaign' to to identify a contiguous zone with similar elements.
A campaign would be defined by recognisable breaks and construction joints in the fabric: there may be a number of phases within a campaign.
One benefit is that separate programs by subcontractors, such as carvers, may be isolated, which is particularly useful in complex sections, such as portals.
Every phase has been assigned to a decade, so there may be more than one phase in a decade.
While this is certainly imperfect, it will allow us to explore all the data, including costs, across time.
This is an on-going process, so as the data continues to be analyzed, the chronology and costing analysis will be further refined, and the synopsis updated.
Clicking on any of the decade graphics will display all buildings that had work being done during that decade.

Phase 2 - 1110s [1110] - north wall
north arm and north nave aisle to west wall with dado arcade, smaller shafts or pilaster, possibly for groin vaults, in a number of small campaigns; the eastern joint is by the stairs on the outside; probably only the lower 9 courses to putlog holes below windows; small indications of changed contractors are that the dado on the south side is not same as the north, nor are the windows to the same detail, and the wn5 buttress is deeper and narrower than ws5 buttress;

Phase 9 - 1150s [1155] - w portal
west door and encasing buttresses not bonded into earlier adjacent walls; the northern interior pier wn5 had been begun earlier and in this campaign both were extended over the inner face of the west wall; the south shafts cover part of the earlier dado; includes the capitals in the portal; it is probable that there had been an earlier west entry into the church that had supported the aisle vaults, and there was some reconstruction on the north side for the new capitals;
