Jean of Orbais began the construction of the Cathedral from the side by the apse, the southern pan of the transept and the choir, followed by much of the nave, until the fourth span and high walls of the aisles were completed with their windows.〔Naert, Dominique (1996). Le labyrinthe de la cathédrale de Reims (of the Reims Cathedral ) (in French) p. 96.〕〔(Le Labyrinth. )〕 It is not known why he ceased to work towards 1228 AD, although it is thought he was dismissed due to conflict with the newly appointed Archbishop Henri de Braisne. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean Orbais」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
