Sens cathedral had two transept chapels, one dedicated to the Baptist, the other to the Virgin, and these were matched by a Baptist's cycle and a Coronation on the corresponding entrances in the west facade. to a 58 Anne from Constantinople honour on the trumeau of the centre doorway of the north relics figure quite the legend says, from the threshold to the high altar. 267 three saints appeared on 40 At Paris and Amiens they are placed in the archivolts. On the Chartres south transept the entire triple doorway has to be understood as a single, extended representation of the Last Judgment, in which the martyrs and confessors on the walls and buttresses take part.
