Abstract
AMONG the unexplained mysteries in mediaeval studies is the diversity in proportions of Romanesque church plans. All the relations of length and breadth-length of church to transept length, width of nave to width of transept, length of nave to its width, etc.-differ so widely from building to building as to utterly defy analysis. Geometric and modular systems have been postulated, but they have been made to fit only by the use of Procrustean methods. It is clear that the underlying system behind the plans remains unknown.
