"The Royal Abbey of Saint-Denis" is a book about the history of the Royal Abbey of Saint-Denis by Sumner McKnight Crosby.
The royal abbey church at St. Denis near Paris is known as the cradle of Gothic art. It is an excellent example of early Gothic architecture. The building was the work of Suger, the abbot of St. Denis, who completely remodeled a very old church. The church was designed to permit the entry of light, which was considered necessary to create an atmosphere conducive to prayer.Art Resource, NY/Giraudon
