1. "Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris...was seminal in the evolution of the French Gothic style. It is 110 ft high—the first cathedral built on a truly monumental scale. With its compact, cruciform plan, its sexpartite vaulting, flying buttresses and vastly enlarged windows, it became a prototype for future French cathedrals." —John Julius Norwich, ed. Great Architecture of the World. p116.
