About this book
Fires, royal donations and the labour of rebuilding shape this account of the Cathedral of Strasburg. The anonymous writer begins with traditions about earlier worship on the site, noting uncertainty around some of the oldest claims. The history then follows the church's growth, the wealth of its bishopric and the gathering of stone and funds for construction. These details connect the building's changing appearance with the religious and civic life around it.
The booklet also gives close attention to the tower, describing its buttresses, statues, tall windows and winding stairs. Bells and a clock occupy its interior, while the view takes in the Rhine plain, the Black Forest and the Vosges. Castles, villages and wooded heights become landmarks in a written panorama.
