To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The single shaft between each lancet has one fiUet; the splays are deep, and the heads have a continuous edging of nail-head orna- ment. A curious, but not altogether satisfactory, type of win- dow has been employed in the nave, which is divided into its length of six bays by plain but bold buttresses. In the absence of an illustration I will do my best to describe this window. The lower portion is formed by three lancets, of which the central one is taller than the other two. The shafts are ra...ther thin and banded twice, while at the apex of each lancet is one of those bolt-like ornaments or fillets which 19s 01 CATHEDRALS OF NORWAY, ETC. we see in Early German Gothic work, as, for instance, in the great southern portals of Miinster and Paderborn Cathedrals. Over each side lancet is a circle pierced plate- tracery wise with one large and six small circles. These pierced circles reach to the top of the central lancet. Next, for the whole breadth of the window, is a lintel and a sloping sill supporting a large circle traceried with a cen- tral quatrefoil from which radiate eight unfoliated lights.
