Abstract
The vaults called "par tranches" by Auguste Choisy are those that are built by laying the bricks with their bed in a vertical or slightly sloped position. The form and the process of execution of these vaults have been scarcely studied so far, partly because it is difficult to figure out the true definition of the hidden elements of the masonry. Until the 19th century there were not primary sources that explain these ways of building, which depend more on the skill of the masons rather than on the abstract knowledge of the designer. This article compares the technical proposals of the French and Spanish texts from the late 19th century that address its
construction works in Byzantium and Extremadura (Spain). The genesis of the system (designed for barrel vaults) is comparatively explained according to each author. Also, the subsequent evolution of different types of compound vaults is analyzed with special attention to the groin vault because the others are based on its layout and construction strategies.
