[The Encyclopaedia Britannica entry ‘Saint Denis’, which includes a summary description of the abbey church and its history and importance, is photocopied in the ms here but is not reproduced in the ts. It includes the following text: ‘The church is of the utmost importance in the history of architecture, being the first major edifice marking the transition from Romanesque to the Gothic style and serving as a model for most of the late 12th-century French cathedrals, including Chartres and Senlis.’ (E[ncyclopaedia] B[ritannica] 10:315)]
