This summer, a class on the history and importance of European cathedrals is being offered online. Titled "Age of Cathedrals," the Yale University class can be taken for credit, or audited for free.
The highly rated class is taught by Howard Bloch, Sterling Professor of French at Yale. Participants will study iconic cathedrals from France, Spain, Italy, and North Africa. Bloch will cover some of the most famous cathedrals, including: Saint-Denis, Notre Dame de Paris, and Our Lady of Chartres.
Professor Bloch wrote in the class synopsis:
"Age of Cathedrals" is considered a beginner-level course that will take 18 hours to complete. Those who attend will be allowed to take the class at their leisure, as it is completely online.
To give prospective students a sample of the course, the program offers the introduction video, featured above. Professor Bloch presents the subject in clear terms and moves at a moderate pace. In the introduction, Bloch takes the viewer through basic terms that relate to cathedrals, as well as to the Catholic Church.
