Abstract
The one hundred and twenty-three groups spread over the archivolt and the splaying capitals of the collegiate church were sculpted around 1200. It is obvious that their style is the fruit of a local tradition, even though it has certain affinities with that of certain French monuments of the end of the 12th century. The tympanum, now smooth, must have at this period been decorated by a Second Corning parousia, already obsolete in the Ile-de-France region. Nevertheless, the theological complexity of the iconography is very rare. The Last Judgment is associated here with the Augustinian doctrine of the ages of the world, and the infernal punishments draw the exceptional diversity of their iconography from Christian apocryphal visions and even Muslim eschatology.
