Paris in Old and Present Times : with Especial Reference to Changes in Its ARIS IJV OLD AND PRESENT TIMES P. G. Hamepton . , 5 THE SAINTE CHAPELLE PARIS IN OLD AND PRESENT TIMES WITH ESPECIAL REFERENCE TO CHANGES IN ITS ARCHITECTURE AND TOPOGRAPHY BY Philip Gilbert Hamerton 1 Ojficier a" Acadtmie WITH MANY ILLUSTRATIONS New Edition LONDON SEELEY AND CO., LIMITED ESSEX STREET, STRAND 1892 PREFACE IT is probable that there is not another city in the whole world that has undergone so many and such great changes as the capital of France. Those of us who have been familiar with Paris since the accession of Louis Napoleon have been eye-witnesses of the last of these, which consisted chiefly in improving the means of communication by opening wide new streets, and in erecting vast numbers of houses of a new type. From the sanitary point of view the change was most desirable and circulation was made easier from the artistic of view incomparably ; point there was a balance of loss and gain, as the old streets were not always, or often, worth preserving, whilst the new ones have always some pretension, at least to taste and elegance, and many new buildings are really good examples of modern intelligence and art. But there is a certain point of view from which this reconstruction of an ancient city was entirely to be regretted. Archaeologists deplored the efface- ment of a thousand landmarks, and if it had not been for their patient labours in preserving memorials of vi Preface the former city on paper, the topography of it would have been as completely effaced from the recollection of mankind as it is from the actual site. Were it not for the existence of a very few old buildings such as Notre Dame, the Sainte Chapelle, the Hotel de Cluny, and one or two other remnants of past archi- tectural glories, Paris might seem to date from the age of Louis XIV., and even the remaining works of the great king are not sufficiently numerous to give an aspect to the city, which seems as new as Boston or New York I had almost written, as Chicago. Whilst Avignon and Aiguesmortes preserve their ancient walls, the enceinte of Paris has been repeatedly demolished, carried farther out, and reconstructed on new principles of fortification. Whilst the palace of the Popes still rears its colossal mass on its rocky height near the Rhone, and withstands, unshaken, the unequalled violence of the mistral that sweeps down upon Avignon, the palace of the mediaeval kings has almost entirely disappeared from the island in the Seine, and the old castle of the Louvre is represented by an outline in white stone traced in the pavement of a quadrangle. Of the wall of Philippe-Auguste the very last tower has long since disappeared, and the grim fortress of the Bastille has utterly vanished from its site, known to modern Parisians as a stopping-place for omnibuses. Nor has the more modern palace of the Tuileries escaped a similar annihilation. The last stone of it was carted away Preface vii not long since, and our best record of its ruin is a little study or picture by Meissonier. Every year it becomes less and less profitable to visit Paris in ignorance of its past history, and therefore it has seemed to me that such an account of the city as I should care to write must include constant reference to what has been as well as a sufficiently clear description of what is. This has not been done before in our language, and would not have been possible now if the admirable labours of many French archaeologists had not supplied the materials. I need not add that whenever anything could be verified by personal observation, I have taken the trouble to see things for myself. Paris has been very familiar to me for nearly thirty years, but in spite of this long intimacy with the place I went to stay there again with a view especially to the present work. I may add that, although I have written little hitherto about architecture, it has always been a favourite study of mine, and I have neglected no opportunity of increasing such knowledge of it as a layman may possess. The facts about the history and construction of edifices given in the present volume I be relied as may, believe, always upon ; for mere opinions, I give them for what they may be worth. The best way is for a critic to say quite candidly what he thinks, but not to set up any claim to authority. CONTENTS CHAP. PAGE I. INTRODUCTION ...... i II. LUTETIA ...... 24 III.

DRAWN BY LEON LHERMITTE ... 339 PARIS IN OLD AND PRESENT TIMES INTRODUCTION NATIONALITY affects our estimates of everything, but most especially does it affect our estimate of great cities. There is no city in the world that does not stand in some peculiar relation to our own and even those* cities that seem nationality ; quite outside of it are still seen through it, as through an atmosphere coloured by our national prejudices or obscured by our national varieties of ignorance. Again, not only does nationality affect our esti- mates, but our own individual idiosyncrasy affects them to a degree which unthinking persons never even suspect. We come to every city with our own peculiar constitution, which no amount of education can ever alter fundamentally, and we test everything in the place by its relation to our own mental and even physical needs.

From more than a 140 registered in the 1830, only about 30 still exist today, mostly situated between the Palais Royal and the Grands Boulevards. Offering not only protection from bad weather, but also cafés, shops and theatres, these covered galleries invite the visitor for a leisurely stroll in a fashionable place. The galeries Vivienne and Véro-Dodat, the Passage des Panoramas, Jouffroy or Verdeau have preserved the ancient splendor and charm of these “Salons du Tout Paris” of the 19th century. Their tall iron work and glass roofs, hand carved woodwork, wrought iron gas lanterns and mosaic or marble floors are simply fascinating.

  • SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION by GUSTAVE FLAUBERT (Volume II)
    SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION BY GUSTAVE FLAUBERT (Volume II) CHAPTER XI. A Dinner and a Duel. Frederick passed the whole of the next day in brooding over his anger and humiliation. He reproached himself for not having given a slap in the face to Cisy. As for the Maréchale, he swore not to see her again. Others as good-looking could be easily found; and, as money would be required in order to possess these women, he would speculate on the Bourse with the purchase-money of his farm. He would get rich; he would crush the Maréchale and everyone else with his luxury. When the evening had come, he was surprised at not having thought of Madame Arnoux. "So much the better. What's the good of it?" Two days after, at eight o'clock, Pellerin came to pay him a visit. He began by expressing his admiration of the furniture and talking in a wheedling tone. Then, abruptly: "You were at the races on Sunday?" "Yes, alas!" Thereupon the painter decried the anatomy of English horses, and praised the horses of Gericourt and the horses of the Parthenon. "Rosanette was with you?" And he artfully proceeded to speak in flattering terms about her. Frederick's freezing manner put him a little out of countenance. He did not know how to bring about the question of her portrait. His first idea had been to do a portrait in the style of Titian. But gradually the varied colouring of his model had bewitched him; he had gone on boldly with the work, heaping up paste on paste and light on light.

    THE EARLY MEDIEVAL NORTH ATLANTIC Huffman The Imperial City of Cologne Joseph P. Huffman The Imperial City of Cologne From Roman Colony to Medieval Metropolis (19 B.C.-1125 A.D.) The Imperial City of Cologne The Early Medieval North Atlantic This series provides a publishing platform for research on the history, cultures, and societies that laced the North Sea from the Migration Period at the twilight of the Roman Empire to the eleventh century. The point of departure for this series is the commitment to regarding the North Atlantic as a centre, rather than a periphery, thus connecting the histories of peoples and communities traditionally treated in isolation: Anglo- Saxons, Scandinavians / Vikings, Celtic communities, Baltic communities, the Franks, etc. From this perspective new insights can be made into processes of transformation, economic and cultural exchange, the formation of identities, etc. It also allows for the inclusion of more distant cultures – such as Greenland, North America, and Russia – which are of increasing interest to scholars in this research context.

  • Paris-In-The-Middle-Ages.Pdf
    This walking tour focuses primarily on Middle Ages Paris, but it begins at the beginning, in the place where Paris originated on the Ile de la Cité. The walk ends atop Mount Sainte-Geneviève on the Left Bank. In between, the tour winds through the narrow medieval streets of the Ancient Cloister Quarter on the Ile de la Cité and the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank. It includes Notre- Dame, the Conciergerie and Sainte-Chapelle, three of the the city’s most famous Gothic buildings. The walk also encompasses some less well known but no less interesting places including the church of Saint-Séverin and the Hôtel de Cluny, the former Paris residence of the wealthy abbots of Cluny. It’s now a wonderful Middle Ages museum. Stops at the Sorbonne, at the charmingly eclectic church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont and at a remnant of Philippe II’s medieval city wall round out the picture of Paris in the Middle Ages. Start: Petit Pont (Métro: Saint-Michel) Finish: Medieval City Wall (Métro: Cardinal Lemoine) Distance: 2 miles Time: 4 - 5 hours Best Days: Wednesday - Monday Copyright © Ann Branston 2011 HISTORY Louis IX, “Saint-Louis” (1226-1270), was known for his religious piety (some Politics and Economics say neuroticism) and charity, as well as for his intolerance and anti-Semitism. He built Sainte-Chapelle for his daily devotions and to house his religious relics. At the beginning of the Middle Ages (around 500 AD) the area known to the Romans as Gaul and known today as France, was a dangerous, ungoverned Philippe IV “The Fair” (1285-1314) rebuilt the French legal structure.

  • Peter Lombard on Titus and Philemon: Tracing Patterns in Parisian Manuscripts Made Before C
    Peter Lombard on Titus and Philemon: Tracing patterns in Parisian manuscripts made before c. 1250 Nina Katherine Baker School of Histories and Humanities Department of History of Art and Architecture Thesis submitted for the degree of Master in Letters Trinity College Dublin Supervisor: Dr. Laura Cleaver Head of School: Dr. Christine Morris 2019 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. _____________________ Nina Katherine Baker i Summary In this thesis it is argued that the various stylistic elements of a selection of manuscripts containing Peter Lombard’s Collectanea demonstrate changes in reading practices in thirteenth-century Paris. The six manuscripts at the core of the study were chosen primarily due to the lack of existing scholarship associated with them. The one exception to this is the two-volume copy of Lombard’s text; Bibliothèque nationale de France MSS Latin 14266 and 14267 which has been studied before due to the large number of fine decorated initials contained therein. This thesis provides an overview of the six manuscripts, their physical form as well as their content, in order to understand how Lombard’s text was used in the thirteenth century. This overview demonstrates that the design of the layout of the text became largely standardised in thirteenth-century copies, and explores the choices made in this process.
