About
Dr. Leedy's study is therefore unrivalled in the depth with which it treats its subject. It documents and analyses the emergence offan vaulting and traces its origins back to certain essential characteristics of the English interpretation of Gothic, involving both aesthetic and technical considerations. It identifies the centres which were especially influential (such as Tewkesbury and Gloucester) and relates these to the 'families' of dependent work which they inspired. Theory, design, symbolism and construction of the vaults are discussed in detail. A particularly valuable feature of this heavily illustrated work is the thorough and comprehensive catalogue of known fan vaults, with chronological data, description and technical analysis of each, including an account of how each was constructed, giving new insights into changing techniques.
