Further-more, the sexpartite vaults of the He de France are always ofthe type of the Abbaye-aux-Hommes; vaults of the type of theAbbaye-aux-Dames, which seem to preserve a more primitiveform, and an intermediate stage of the evolution, are never foundoutside of Normandy. This fact argues strongly that the sex-partite vault must have originated in Normandy rather thanin the He de France.
