And we’re back. Cat takes us on an art history tour of late-medieval Paris vis-a-vis Ubisoft’s virtual Notre Dame Cathedral, constructed for Assassin’s Creed Unity. Etienne Boileau’s “Le Livre des Metiers,” written in 1268 outlines regulations and penalties overseen by the various trade guilds (French): http://virtuater.free.fr/Le%20livre%20des%20metiers%20d%20Etienne%20Boileau.pdf Giorgio Vasari, who first used the term “Gothic” to make fun of what had until then been referred to as “French Work” in his 1550 book “Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects.” http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/25326 Vitruvius wrote even more than Cat thought, with his “Ten Books on Architecture” available here: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/20239/20239-h/20239-h.htm Find us elsewhere: http://spek.work/ https://www.instagram.com/spekwork/ http://twitter.com/spekwork twitch.tv/SpekWork
