It is mentioned in passing, however, in Edouard Jeauneau, L'age d'or des ecoles de Chartres, Chartres, Editions Houvet, 1995, and Colette Manhes-Deremble, Les vitraux narratifs de la cathedrale de Chartres. Etude iconographique, Paris, Leopard d'Or, 1993. You might also plough through Jan van der Meulen, Chartres. Sources and Literary Interpretation: A Critical Bibliography, Boston, G.K. Hall, 1989, although this focuses more on the cathedral fabric. I would be interested if you come across anything more pertinant. Jim Bugslag I am looking for information on the School of Chartres in the thirteenth century. The literature I know of (Dronke, Southern, Schipperges) focusses on the heyday of the school, the twelfth century. Lexikon des Mittelalters provides no information or literature on the 'Niedergang' of the school. This 'Niedergang' starts at the end of the twelfth century when its position as a centre of learning was taken over by the university of Paris. Did the school still function after 1200? Was the program different from that in the twelfth century? What kind of students were attracted to Chartres and why would they chose Chartres over Paris? Any information concerning this questions would be of help. Thanks, Veerle Joanna Fraeters University of Antwerp (Ufsia) [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
