quite beyond the powers of those who tried to imitate them
in the tenth and eleventh centuries.

In the neighbourhood of the great eastern trade route
through southern and central France, and in Auvergne,
are a number of domed churches of various dates and types,
the origin of which is much disputed. The oldest are Ger-
migny les Prés (806), Brantôme and St. Astier (dedicated
1013) near Peri-
gueux, St. Mar-
tin, Angers (re-
built 1020), St.
Etienne de la
Cité, Perigueux,
begun 1013 and
dedicated 1047,
on the same day as
St. Front (p. 20)
(the plan of which
was copied from
St. Mark's Ven-
ice), and Notre
Dame du Port,
Clermont Fer-
rand, about the
same time. St.
Jean de Cole and
a number of smal-
lerchurches come
between 1080 and
1090, then Font-
evrault, Cahors,
and Angoulême
(all consecrated 1119), Souillac and Solignac, 1143. From
the Auvergne churches with their two-storied aisles was
derived St. Sernin of Toulouse, and possibly St. Martin
of Tours, and there is some resemblance between them
and the Anglo-Norman churches in the single western
tower, the superposed vaulted aisles, and the cylindrical
columns.
