Description

A schematic plan of a cistercian church in the sketchbook of Villard de Honnecourt has not been recognised as a scale drawing. Based upon the previous researohes concerning the historical scale drawings, historical metrology and the medieval number symbolism, the author. attempts to prove that this can be a scale drawing. Villard's plan of Meaux cathedral and the plan of Cambrai cathedral drwan next to the cistercian church plan in the sketchbook can be. testified to the scale drawings of the sketchbook. Compared with the scale of Villard's plan of Cambrai cathedral, Villard's cistercian church plan also verifies the scale drawing. Dimension supposed to this plan is confirmed by the medieval number symbolism and the mesures and dimensions of several actual medieval cistercian churches. As conclusion of this paper, the author points out that Villard's church can be exceptionally small and what Villard intended to realize in this plan is a simple plan "ad triangulum" and a symbolic number 28 as the measure of the elementary figure composing the plan.
