About this book
Some Account of Gothic Architecture in Spain is by George Edmund Street. The text says that the word Cimborio is only the Spanish term for our lantern. The text says that the French architects had from the first realized the necessity for making the diagonal vaulting rib a semi-circle, and saw that the line thus obtained was a continuous line of the utmost value.
The text says that whenever the semi-circular form of the diagonal rib is given up the effect of vaulting is half destroyed. A list says that the whole of the subjects illustrate the earlier passages in the Old Testament in chronological order, with entries such as Creation of the firmament and Creation of fowls and fishes.
