ARCHITECTURE 173 The development of architecture went hand in hand with that of science. At the same time, for instance, when the newly founded Universities of Basle and Freiburg were enjoying their first flush of success there were erected in Basle (1470-1487), the south tower of the Minster (1484-1500), and the Church of St. Leonard's (1496-1503), and at Freiburg the cathedral choir, with its beautiful circle of chapels, was built between 1471 and 1509. Frankfort-on-the- Main exhibited at that period a zeal in church building which was quite remarkable when compared with its history at other times. The Church of St. Peter's was added to in 1452 ; the ' Weissfraukirche ' in 1455, and the Church of St. Leonard's and the cathedral in 1512. In Franconia and Hesse also hundreds of churches were erected. The following catalogue is the result of accurate researches made in a single division of these lands, viz. the present Prussian administrative district of Cassel.
