[139] Although this arrangement would seem to reflect Lombard
influence, the form of the triforia and of the vaults is much more
like those of Auvergne.

have been vaulted before the transformation of its interior from
Romanesque to Perpendicular Gothic.

[153] The word square is used to denote bays which are approximately
as well as actually equilateral.
[154] See list in Enlart, I, p. 264 note 2 and note 3. Examples of
transverse arches of earlier date exist in Syrian and Early Christian
architecture, but not with a regular alternate system.
[155] This was especially important to the Lombard builders, who
always preferred the semicircular arch, which could thus be employed
for all six ribs of the vault and would cause the crown to be domed
up just high enough to permit the construction of the entire vault
by means of a simple centering from rib to rib. See Porter, Cons. of
Lombard and Gothic Vaults.

La Couture; Poitiers (Vienne), Cath. (portion); Poitiers, Sainte
Radegonde; Brantôme (Dordogne), Ch.; Lucheux (Somme), Ch.; Airaines
(Somme), Notre Dame.
[161] They are, perhaps, the earliest of the Anjou group. Enlart (Vol.
I, pp. 435, note 1 and 445, note 1) gives an earlier date for Lucheux
and Airaines, but the appearance of their vaults does not seem to bear
out this assertion.
