The magnificent abbey church of St-Denis, rebuilt during the reign of King Louis IX of France, is one of the principal monuments of Gothic architecture in the thirteenth century. The reconstruction of St-Denis, initiated in 1231, brought to completion the work begun and left incomplete by Abbot Suger almost one hundred years before. While Abbot Suger's renovations have been extensively studied, the equally innovative reconstruction of the church a century later has been neglected until now. In the first complete study of the thirteenth-century church, Caroline Astrid Bruzelius analyzes its structure and chronology and places it within the larger context of Gothic and Rayonnant architecture. Bruzelius demonstrates that the thirteenth-century rebuilding of St-Denis not only preserved and harmonized with parts of Suger's earlier building program, but also comprised a number of innovations of astonishing originality. The elevation, adjusted in the east end to incorporate the older parts of the church, introduced a new approach to glass and stone. The glazing of the triforium and the expansion of the transept created a brightness throughout. The crossing, which functioned as a royal necropolis, became a memorial to the Capetian dynasty, strengthening and legitimizing the authority of king and crown. Bruzelius's analysis of the reconstruction, which incorporates both archaeological evidence and documents, has permitted a new understanding of the importance of the church at St-Denis and of Parisian architecture of this period. A central monument in the Rayonnant Gothic style, St-Denis's influence on cathedrals such as Troyes and Strasbourg clearly illustrates the contribution of Paris to the architecture of other areas and to the development of a new aesthetic.

This revised edition incorporates the additions and corrections recorded by Erwin Panofsky until the time of his death in 1968. Gerda Panofsky-Soergel has updated the commentary in the light of new material, and the bibliography that she has prepared reflects the scholarship on St.-Denis in the last three decades. She has obtained some additional and more recent photographs, and the illustrations include a new ground plan and a new section of the chevet of the Abbey Church, both drawn under the supervision of Sumner McKnight Crosby.

Abt Suger nimmt einen einzigartigen Platz in der Geschichte seines Klosters ein. Um Sugers Leistung nüchterner und realistischer zu bewerten, werden im vorliegenden Band nicht nur zentrale Aspekte seines eigenen Wirkens in den Blick gefasst, sondern auch Vorgänger und Zeitgenossen gewürdigt, die keine Schriften hinterließen und deren Namen heute nur noch dem Spezialisten bekannt sind.
