medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Right you are, Rochelle, about the Decalogue tablets in all movies. What was I thinking??
I actually found the "arches" collection in my Petit Larousse where the one you showed looked vaguely like an "arc outrepassé," with an emphasis on the "vaguely." What you have is the rounded typically Romanesque arch and your take on the subject was right on.
I came up with "Moorish arch" by looking up "arc outrepassé"; that was the definition given in my Petit Robert.
