But how were they commissioned, designed, and built? Historian Francois Icher has written a lively, detailed account of the process by which these architectural masterpieces were erected.

Working conditions, daily schedules, contracts, the apprentice system, and the specific jobs performed by stonecutters, masons, sculptors, roofers, and makers of stained glass are all described, and set in historical and economic context.
