Summary: "Dictionnaire raisonné de l'architecture française du XIe au XVIe siècle - Tome Huitième" by M. Viollet-le-Duc is a scholarly reference work written in the mid-19th century. This extensive volume explores the various aspects of French architecture from the 11th to the 16th century, providing definitions, descriptions, and historical context for architectural terms, structures, and styles. The book serves as an authoritative source for understanding the evolution of French architectural practices and the significance of architectural elements during this period. The opening of the tome presents detailed discussions on specific architectural terms, such as "quai" (quay), covering its historical significance and structural characteristics. It elaborates on the development of quays in Paris, mentioning their construction methods and importance in managing water flow in medieval cities. The text also begins to introduce other architectural elements and terms, like "quatrefeuille" and "reclusoir," indicating a methodical approach to compiling knowledge about medieval French architecture and its artifacts.
