rif. elala6183Paris: Librairie D’Architecture De Bance 1856. First Edition of this description of the famous medieval landmark written by its most ambitious restorer Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and the historian and archaeologist Ferdinand de Guilhermy. Viollet-le-Duc who was then just thirty years old began work on the project together with Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Lassus in 1844. The restoration of the building which had fallen into serious disrepair over time was to last twenty years. The present work retraces the history of construction and details every architectural and structural element. The Commission on Historical Monuments approved most of Viollet-le-Duc's plans including his proposal to recreate the original medieval spire and bell tower over the transept which had been removed in 1786 because it was unstable in the wind. The new spire was taller more ornate and more strongly constructed; it was destroyed by fire in 2019 although the copper statues and ornaments were saved having been removed for cleaning. Supervising a large team of sculptors glass makers and other craftsmen and working from drawings or engravings Viollet-le-Duc remade or added decorations if he felt they were in the spirit of the original style. In total the restoration of Notre Dame cost over 12 million francs. 12mo. pp. 4 p.l. 132 4ads. with half-title. 2 engraved plans & 3 engraved plates. with tissue guards.

Text frz. - Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc 1814 -1879 französischer Architekt und Kunsthistoriker der durch seine Restaurierungen mittelalterlicher Bauwerke und seine wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten zur Architekturgeschichte Berühmtheit erlangte. Ab den frühen 1840er Jahren trug er erheblich zur Restaurierungsbewegung mittelalterlicher Bauten in Frankreich bei. Von Prosper Mérimée wurde er 1840 beauftragt die Abteikirche von Vézelay zu restaurieren. Dies war der Beginn einer langen Reihe von Restaurierungsarbeiten Notre-Dame in Paris Kathedralen von Saint-Denis Amiens Reims Clermont-Ferrand die Befestigungsanlagen von Carcassonne Basilika Saint-Sernin in Toulouse Schloss Pierrefonds Schloss Roquetaillade etc. aufgrund derer Viollet-Le-Duc zum führenden Restaurator in Frankreich wurde. Er war nie Generalinspektor der historischen Denkmäler in Frankreich wurde aber 1853 zum Oberaufseher aller Sakralbauten Frankreichs Inspecteur général des Edifices Diocésains.Zu seinen besonderen Leistungen zählt auch die Erforschung der mittelalterlichen Baukunst. Viollet-le-Duc veröffentlichte seine Forschungsergebnisse zwischen 1854 und 1868 im zehnbändigen «Dictionnaire raisonné de l'architecture française du XIe au XVIe siècle». Hierfür fertigte er während seiner Forschungsreisen eine Vielzahl qualitativ hochwertiger Zeichnungen an die Grundrisse Aufrisse und Details dokumentieren sowie seine Rekonstruktionsversuche mittelalterlicher Bauten zeigen. Darüber hinaus interessierten ihn auch andere Aspekte dieser Zeit wie z.B. Waffentechnik Belagerunswesen etc.Seine Kenntnisse mittelalterlicher Bautechnik kamen sowohl der Restaurierung historischer Bauten als auch der Lösung zeitgenössischer Bauaufgaben zugute. Mit seinen Entwürfen trug Viollet-le-Duc zur Architektur des Historismus bei. Die Tätigkeit von Viollet-le-Duc im Bereich der Denkmalpflege ist bis heute in der Forschung umstritten. „Restaurierte“ Bauten konnten in einem Zustand enden den diese nie hatten. Bisweilen werden Viollet-le-Duc und seine Schüler auch pejorativ als vandalisme restaurateurs „Restaurierungs-Vandalen“ bezeichnet. Ihren Gegenspieler fanden sie in John Ruskin. 010 Paris, Librairies-imprimeries réunis / Ancienne Maison Morel, o. J. [ca. 1870] unknown
