Synopsis
This first comprehensive overview of the process of commissioning and financing the construction of cathedrals in the Middle Ages reveals a financing system almost as monumental as the cathedrals themselves. Here we follow the historian on a fascinating examination of construction accounts and other sources – extant but never so minutely explored – bringing the bishop and the chapter to account, as it were.The book is divided into two parts. The first gives a broad overview of the resources on which medieval commissioners could draw, including contributions from the bishop, chapter, sovereign, city and, above all, the faithful of the diocese in which the cathedral was erected. The second part is a case study of the financing of construction at Utrecht Cathedral, whose archives are among the best preserved in Europe, followed by a brief discussion of the financing of several other cathedral building projects throughout Europe and of the church of St Peter’s in Rome.

About the Author
Wim Vroom is former director of the Department of Dutch History at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. He was also professor by special appointment of Dutch Cultural History at the University of Amsterdam.
From the Back Cover
In deze publicatie vertelt Wim Vroom hoe in de Middeleeuwen de bouwkosten van Europese kathedralen werden gefinancierd. Dit financieringsstelsel blijkt even groots en monumentaal te zijn als de kathedralen zelf. Het geld kwam van de bisschop, van het kapittel, soms van de vorst en van de stad, maar vooral van het bisdom waarvan de kathedraal de hoofdkerk was. Naast dergelijke inkomstenbronnen stelt Vroom het bouwbedrijf en de wisselende omvang hiervan aan de orde. Hij gaat bovendien uitgebreid in op de financiering van de bouw van de Dom van Utrecht en behandelt in kort bestek de financiële achtergrond van enkele andere kathedralen, zoals van de Sint Pieterskerk in Rome.
