Medieval Building Techniques

by Günther Binding

How did medieval builders manage to construct the towering cathedrals of Europe and other great civic buildings, not to mention the tens of thousands of parish churches? By combing through thousands of medieval illuminated manuscripts, early printed works, sculptures and carvings, Günther Binding has assembled hundreds of drawings that clearly show the tools and techniques used by the masons and builders of the Middle Ages.
