medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Ah, but this drawing departs from convention in so many ways that it's
hard to consider it as a conventional plan. It's not labelled as a plan
and I only called it one because that was the term you had used. It's a
schematic drawing showing the outline and supports of the nave of the
upper church in relation to the two crypts below; it's plan-like only in
that it indicates the location of structural elements. A real plan
would not superimpose, would use the same conventions in representing
the walls, etc. of each of the building's levels (shown in separate
sections), and would show the building's stairways. Best again, John
Dillon
