Abécédaire, ou, Rudiment d'archéologie : architecture religieuse
Arcisse de Caumont's Abécédaire, ou, Rudiment d'archéologie: architecture religieuse, printed at Caen in 1886, is a French teaching manual on medieval church architecture for students and provincial antiquarians. Its wood-engraved figures record arcades, carved capitals, apse elevations and diaper-patterned wall fields in flat outline with hatched shading, offering repeatable arch profiles, column ornament and geometric infill patterns.
