«El misterio de las catedrales» is Christian Jacq's essay on the symbolism of cathedrals, published by Planeta in paperback (212 pages).
The work explores the messages that cathedral builders left in stone, from Gothic sculptures to the ordering of space. Christian Jacq proposes that medieval architecture contains a Christian symbolism with earlier roots, and that its keys can be read beyond religion.
Corresponds to the 2nd edition, published on June 25, 1999. Translation by María-José Furió; original title: Le Message des Constructeurs de Cathédrales (1980).
For readers interested in the symbolism of medieval architecture and religious art.
Christian Jacq is a French author and Egyptologist. He has written several novels about ancient Egypt, notably a five book series about pharaoh Ramses II, a character whom Jacq admires greatly.
