Scholars could therefore teach their students, the clergy preach sermons and parents read the lives of the saints to their children using the 'texts' in stained glass and sculpture. The sister churches of Chartres have been sadly vandalized to varying degrees by Reform, revolution, war or natural disaster. Here in Chartres the 'text' is virtually complete. <p> A concise glossary of symbolic images has been included as well as a complete plan of all the windows in the cathedral, and an index. </td></tr></table> <p> <a href="index.html">Back to Main Index</a> </BODY> </HTML>
