The Principles of Gothic Ecclesiastical Architecture is a book written by Matthew Holbeche Bloxam, which provides a comprehensive guide to the technical terms and principles of Gothic architecture as applied to ecclesiastical buildings. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which covers the basic principles of Gothic architecture, such as the use of pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses. The second part of the book is a glossary of technical terms used in Gothic architecture, as well as a centenary of ancient terms. The book is illustrated with numerous diagrams and illustrations, making it an invaluable resource for architects, historians, and students of architecture. Bloxam's book is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative works on Gothic architecture, and it remains a classic text in the field to this day.1849.
