Summary "Compte de L'Oeuvre de la Cathédrale de Chartres en 1415-1416" by Luc Merlet is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work provides a detailed record of expenditures related to the construction and maintenance of the Cathedral of Chartres during the early 15th century. It likely appeals to those interested in medieval architecture, history, and the financial aspects of church projects. The opening of the text establishes the significance of the account, noting how it is one of the few surviving records from that time period, preserved by chance among other historical documents. Merlet explains the context of these expenditures, listing specific costs associated with religious ceremonies, maintenance of the church structure, and wages for various workers involved in the cathedral's upkeep—ranging from chandlers to masons and tanners. The meticulous detail in the record offers insights into the daily operations and financial management of ecclesiastical constructions during the late Middle Ages.
