«Le message des constructeurs de cathédrales» is the essay by Christian Jacq, published by J'ai lu in paperback (224 pages, in French).
The author starts from the idea that ancient temples and medieval cathedrals hold in their stones messages that go beyond the religious and touch on the essentials of life. The work explains how to read these buildings and their sculptures, and unravels the role of the communities of builders and sculptors who carved into stone signs whose meaning endures in everyday life.
Originally published in 1980, the book carries the subtitle «La symbolique des édifices» and includes the complete text.
For readers interested in medieval symbolism, art history and cathedral architecture.
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.
