"At the beginning of the eleventh century in northwestern Italy builders created a
comprehensive system of architecture, integrating the square edges of stacked bricks
on the exterior with arches, vaults, and niches inside the wall. Throughout southern
Europe builders copied this system. In major abbeys in Catalonia builders carefully
followed and also imaginatively enriched it, creating a new type of interior, different
from the early Christian model perpetuated in the central vessel of contemporary Italian
churches. In major churches in southern France successive generations incorporated
many of these changes to the brick-based model and added significantly to them. Seen
in this new light, early eleventh-century architecture in Lombardy and Catalonia belies
its longstanding reputation as a superficially decorated, pendulously massive, unprogressively
folkloric, and largely irrelevant First Romanesque prelude to High Romanesque architecture"--Page
