The stained glass windows In 1254 the Dominicans laid the first foundation stone of what was to become the Saint Bartholomew Chapel (the building took its name from a chapel which had once stood on the same site). The chapel was consecrated in 1260 by Jacques de Lorraine, Bishop of Metz, on the occasion of the Order's General Chapter, in the presence of Albert le Grand. The windows, following the principle of Speculum Humanae Salvationis (probably a Dominican and Strasbourg collaboration) established the links between the Old and New Testament, including a Jesse window and a bay dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, in the characteristic "Westfalo-Saxon" style. The modest remains of these windows can be seen today in the two north-west bays of the Saint Laurent chapel.
