Roof Frames from the 11th to the 19th Century: Typology and development in Northern France and in Belgium: Analysis of CRMH Documentation

In 1927, the architect in charge of historical monuments in France, Henri Deneux, published an important study devoted to the development of carpentry from the 11th century forward. Research has made considerable progress in the field since then, particularly thanks to the contribution of dendrochronology. This book offers a synthesis with regard to carpentry from north of the Loire to Belgium. It contains a typological and chronological classification with 300 examples of carpentry constructions, and a catalogue of beautiful models preserved at the Centre of Research on Historical Monuments in Paris. It is a valuable reference work for all those - art historians, architects, building restorars - who are interested in historic carpentry.
