HÉLIOT (Pierre). — The Romanesque Apse of Saint-Bertin in Saint-Omer and Franco-Lorraine Architecture. Antwerp, Imprimeries Générales Lloyd Anversois, 1953. Quarto, paperback with printed cover. 24 pp., paginated 73–96. Excerpt from the *Revue belge d’Archéologie et d’Histoire de l’Art*, vol. XXII, 1953, issue 2. The specialized bibliography confirms this collation and publication. Offprint of this study by Pierre Héliot devoted to the Romanesque apse of the former Abbey of Saint-Bertin in Saint-Omer, a monument that no longer exists. Based on excavations and historical surveys, the author reconstructs, in particular, the apse and crypt of the abbey church, which was rebuilt in the 11th century, and then situates the building within the evolution of religious architecture in northern France and Lotharingia. The study garnered attention as early as 1954 for its observations on the architectural connections between these regions. A specialized publication that continues to be cited in subsequent works on Romanesque and Ottonian architecture. Condition: paperback copy; cover heavily discolored and dusty; spine formerly reinforced with adhesive tape, with traces of oxidation and old staples or fasteners; some foxing and soiling. Small number “25” written in pencil at the top of the first page. Interior is complete and in fair condition despite the poor condition of the cover.
