	Villard Macmillan Article
		Villard's fame is due to the uniqueness of his drawings and 19th-century inventiveness in crediting him with having "erected churches throughout the length and breadth of Christendom" without any documentary evidence that he designed or built any church anywhere, or that he was in fact an architect.
		Who Villard was, and what he did, must be postulated from his drawings and the textual addenda to them on 26 of the 66 surfaces of the 33 leaves remaining in his portfolio.
		Villard probably was born in the village of Honnecourt-sur-l'Escault (Nord), south of Cambrai, in Picardy, France.

		When Alexandra Villard Borchgrave, wife of ultra right journalist Arnaud, sat down to write "Villard: the Life and Times of an American Titan", a fawning biography of her great-grandfather Henry Villard, the last thing she probably had in mind was debunking Radical Republicanism or the "revolutionary" character of the Civil War northern industrial bourgeoisie.
		As president of Northern Pacific in 1883, Villard symbolized the entrepreneurial spirit of the Yankee industrialist that was understood by both bourgeois and orthodox Marxist historians alike as the polar opposite of the vanquished planter class.
		Despite the leftwing credentials of Villard and Marx, the newspaper was a racist opponent of Abraham Lincoln.

	Villard Oral History
		Villard: In our first year, there was no commitment as to what we should do, and I drew as a roommate the guy who gave me the nickname "Mike." He was planning to major in English literature and introduced me to a lot of his friends.
		Villard: As I say, I sort of baffled them at the University but I had my own radio club by that time at Yale, and it was clear that if I was not to do writing all my life I'd like to become an engineer-- and a radio engineer-- and learn more about it.
		Villard: It seemed to me that what happened after the war was that there was recognition of the fact that general physics world split up into two parts, the high energy physics and all the rest.

		Frankl claims that Villard had no sense of historical development in architecture, that is, he was not interested in what was most recent in his day but in what was most useful to him.
		But Villard was sufficiently observant to understand that the polygonal rather than the circular plan of the chapels at Meaux was something new, and he uncharacteristically drew window spacings, a possible indication that he found these unusual or satisfactory or both.
		Von Simpson says that, leaving aside hastiness and carelessness on Villard's part, the difference is either the result of Villard's seeking to improve or modernize the design, altering its proportions to resemble those of Amiens, or of his copying at Reims a drawing which was later discarded or not followed.

	Villard de Honnecourt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The surviving portfolio of drawings (ca 1230s?) by Villard de Honnecourt, possibly a 13th century itinerant master-builder of Picardy in northern France, is in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris (MS Fr 19093).

	Villard Problem Article
		Villard has misunderstood this completely and locates his lower flyer at the level of the springing of the main vault and his upper flyer at the level of the top of the clerestory lancets (cf.
		Villard's drawing technique is that of a metalworker, especially a niello worker, as I analyzed in detail in a study published in 1981 in Gesta.(67) It is not necessary to associate Villard with any profession, but if one insists on doing so, metalwork rather than architecture, is the best possibility.
		Villard was, in the best sense of the word, a dilettante, "one who delights in the world around him." No profession explains the multiplicity of Villard's interests, and we are the richer for it.

		We suggest, therefore, that it is not at all by coincidence that Villard inscribed the text "here begin the force of lines for drafting" next to the drawing of the two flamingoes.
		Systematic analysis of those drawings in the Villard portfolio using principles of 'constructive geometry' will permit us to identify additional aspects of Euclidean geometry, which were handed down in the building trade largely through an oral tradition, and subsequently to identify, where possible, their use in architecture and mechanical engineering in the medieval period.
		Within the larger historical framework of traditions in applied mathematics, the Villard portfolio should be recognized as a key monument of practical geometry.
