Summary: "Dictionnaire raisonné de l'architecture française du XIe au XVIe siècle - Tome premier" by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc is a detailed scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. This comprehensive dictionary focuses on French architecture, specifically from the 11th to the 16th century, exploring its historical development and styles. The work serves as both a reference guide and an appreciation of the architectural principles and intricacies of the Middle Ages. The opening of the work outlines the author's deep admiration for medieval French architecture, emphasizing the lack of adequate resources and scholarly attention at the time he began his studies 25 years prior. Viollet-le-Duc reflects on the significant advancements in the understanding and appreciation of historical monuments that have emerged since then. He discusses the evolution of architectural forms and styles, the importance of classifying these by era, and the vital relationship between architecture and the cultural context in which it was developed. Ultimately, his aim is to convey the depth and richness of medieval architecture, encouraging future studies to appreciate its significance within French history.
