The Plan of Saint Gall (ca. 820 AD) is one of my favorite things in the world. Ever since I wrote the linked Wikipedia article years ago, I've wanted to see the 3-volume treaties written by Horn and Born (1979), a highlight of modern book making, but alas it is rare and costs thousands of dollars. Luckily in 1982 they also published a "brief" that gives a taste of the main book at a reasonable price. Even the brief is a huge book, 14" tall with detailed pen and ink drawings and blueprints, it sort of feels like a medieval manuscript. Well worth it for anyone with a passing interest in medieval monasteries, it also probably influenced Umberto Eco in The Name of the Rose. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Few early medieval documents have been studied as intensively in recent years as the architectural scheme known as the Plan of St. Gall. And few possess the broad imaginative scope of this ancient parchment, drawn between 820 and 830 A.D. to guide Benedictine monastic planning in the age of Charlemagne. In 1979 the University of California Press published a three-volume study, "The Plan of St. Gall". Pro Helvetica decided to introduce the Plan to an even broader audience through an exhibition designed to travel in the United States and Europe. Designed by Ernest Born, this book not only compliments that exhibition but stands independently of it. A succinct text captures the essence of the Plan in its historical, cultural, and spiritual contexts. It is supported by over 100 illustrations, many in color, reproduced from the three volumes of "The Plan of St. Gall" to the same exacting standards of typography, printing, and paper. Also included is a note on architectural models by Price and Born, illustrated with color photographs of the site model of the Plan of St. Gall. -- From publisher's description.
