Les vingt-quatre etudes ici rassemblees en un recueil par les collegues, amis et eleves de Jacques Thirion veulent exprimer au Maitre la reconnaissance et l'admiration de leurs auteurs pour l'eclectisme de ses centres d'interet, le faire impeccable et raffine de ses travaux, la fecondite de son enseignement. Celles et ceux qui ont rassemble ces etudes sont conservateurs des bibliotheques, des musees, d'archives ou encore universitaires. Leur geste a tente d'evoquer l'extraordinaire diversite de la carriere de Jacques Thirion qui, avant de se consacrer a l'enseignement et a la recherche, a frequente tous les secteurs du patrimoine.

Richly illustrated, Early Gothic Column-Figure Sculpture in France is a comprehensive investigation of church portal sculpture installed between the 1130s and the 1170s. At more than twenty great churches, beginning at the Royal Abbey of Saint-Denis and extending around Paris from Provins in the east, south to Bourges and Dijon, and west to Chartres and Angers, larger than life-size statues of human figures were arranged along portal jambs, many carved as if wearing the dress of the highest ranks of French society.
