BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE 



L MODERN AUTHORS. 



A. GENERAL. In English the only complete survey of the whole 

 course of Renaissance Architecture in France is still that in Fergusson's 

 "History of Modern Architecture" (ist ed. 1862, 3rd ed. 1891), now 

 largely superseded. A more up-to-date but much shorter summary 

 occurs in Russell Sturgis' "European Architecture" (1896). These 

 can be corrected and supplemented by reference to the articles in the 

 Architectural Publication Society's most carefully compiled " Dictionary 

 of Architecture" (1853-92) and those in R. Sturgis' " Dictionary of 

 Architecture and Building" (1901-02). 



In German, Baron H. von Geymuller's exhaustive " Baukunst der 

 Renaissance in Frankreich " in the " Handbuch der Architektur " series 

 (Vol. I. 1898, Vol. II. 1901 ; Vol. III. has not appeared) covers the 

 ground to the close of the Rococo Phase; while W. Liibke's "Geschichte 

 der Franzosischen Renaissance" (1855) and C. Gurlitt's "Geschichte 

 des Barockstiles (Rococo und Klassicismus)," Vol. II., both in the 

 " Geschichte der neueren Baukunst " series, cover it to the beginnings 

 of the Classical Reaction. The fine photographs in C. Gurlitt's " Die 

 Baukunst Frankreichs " illustrate work of each phase of the whole 

 period. 



In French, Leon Chateau's " Histoire et Caracteres de 1'Architec- 

 ture en France" (1864), though often out of date in its information, 

 especially in the earlier periods, gives a still valuable general survey. 

 Good outline summaries are to be found in Lechevallier Chevignard's 

 "Les Styles Francois" (1892) in the " Bibliotheque de 1'Enseignement 

 des Beaux Arts " series, and in the art sections of Lavisse's great 

 French history. These may be supplemented by such works as Roger 

 Miles' "Comment discerner les Styles," H. Havard's "Histoire et 

 Philosophic des Styles" (1899-1900), H. Destailleur's "Notices sur 

 quelques Artistes Francois " (1863), D. Guilmard's "Les Maitres Orne- 

 manistes" (1880), and C. Enlart's "Manuel d'Archeologie Franchise";
