Français : ...Les fenêtres des chapelles du chœur de la cathédrale d'Amiens sont

contemporaines de la Sainte-Chapelle de Paris, elles datent de 1240 à 1245; or, les meneaux de ces fenêtres sont tracés d'après un principe géométrique fort-simple et très-bon. Il faut dire que ces meneaux consistent en un seul faisceau central portant la claire-voie sous les archivoltes (voy. CHAPELLE, fig. 39 et 40).

Soit (5), en A, la section horizontale d'une de ces fenêtres avec son meneau central B. Soient les lignes B0 B and B1, axes du meneau central et des colonnettes des pieds-droits. On remarquera d'abord que le même profil

est adopté pour le meneau central et les pieds-droits...
English: ... the windows of the vaults of the chorus of the cathedral of Amiens are contemporary of the Ste Chapelle of Paris were made during years 1240 to 1245; however, the mullions of these windows are traced according to a extremely-simple and very-good geometrical principles. It should be said that these mullions consist of only one central beam carrying the open-type screen under the archivolts (see: VAULT, fig. 39 and 40). In fig.(5), in A [at the bottom], the horizontal section of one of these windows with its central mullion B are lines B0 B and B1, axes of the central mullion and the posts of the jambs. It will be noticed initially that the same profile is adopted for the central mullion and the jambs...
