medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Je crois même que le chanoine Delaporte a laissé certaines descriptions de
manuscrits de la bibliothèque municipale de Chartres disparus lors de la
dernière guerre mondiale. D'où l'importance de ses études qui sont
généralement d'une grande érudition ...

i count 4 mitred bishops in those six windows, plus another fellow who seems
to be vested as a bishop but is tonsured, without a mitre.
two of the four hold books, as does the bareheaded figure.

ancienne référence : Delaporte, Vitraux de la chapelle saint Piat, dans
Mém. Société Arch. d'Eure et Loire, 1916.
that may indeed be and "ancienne référence", jl, but Canon Yves Delaporte
was, throughout his long life (he died in the early 1970s, i believe) one of
the most knowledgable and erudite of Chartrain scholars, in matters ranging
from the liturgy to the stained glass of the cathedral, and virtually all of
his work is very reliable to this day.
what you want to look at is his later work on the glass, _Les vitraux de la
cathédrale de Chartres / histoire et description par Y. Delaporte
reproductions par É. Houvet._ Chartres: É. Houvet, 1926. xx, 532 p., ill.
; and atlas. 3 v. 212 plates
if Delaporte modified his ideas in the 1916 article it would be in the later
work, which remains today the essential reference for the Chartres windows,
even though there has been much work in the intervening decades, not least
by
the "Corpus Vitrearum" consortium of scholars.
Jim Bugslag will know much more about all this than i do, but he is busy
preparing for a trip to France.
as i said, the extraordinarily fine photographs here
http://site.voila.fr/CentreChartrain/StPiat/Vitraux/
are the work of your countryman, Henri Feraudy, who calls himself "the mad
snapper" and has put more Chartres pictures (and a few others from other
places) up here:
http://site.voila.fr/CentreChartrain/
again, all his .jpgs are bigger than a browser window and need to be
expanded
after they load, by clicking on the little "expansion" icon which appears in
the lower right corner of the image when the cursor is place on it.
