&Z-**fl T. G.J ch. ix) PROVINCIAL STYLES 165 of S. Serge (Plate XLV), perhaps the most beautiful Angers,example of it. The choir has three aisles of equal heightand nearly equal width, four bays long: the middleaisle is projected one bay beyond, and ends square. Thecolumns are slender like those in the Hotel Dieu, andhave octagonal capitals. The vaults are domed up andhave the usual roll by way of rib, though here again it isnot really a rib at all but a moulding worked on the arrisof the stones that form the edge of the groin. Here, andalso at the chapel of the Hotel Dieu, the roll occurs alsoalong the ridge, like the ridge ribs common in England,but in the end bays, which are subdivided into lesservaults, the doming of the vault makes this ridge rib mountlike an ordinary groining rib. It is to be observed that though all the vaultingarches are pointed, the windows here, like those at theHospital, are round-arched with a simple splay roundthem. The cathedral at Poitiers (Fig. 71)
