This is the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris's own institutional record describing objects the cathedral holds, a standing custodial account maintained by the cathedral body itself rather than an independent publication. Its strength is that a holding institution's own record is the correct primary source for what it holds today and how it presents its own collection, useful for provenance and custody facts. Its limit is that it is not a scholarly publication and was not written to interpret or critically assess the objects' history, meaning or authenticity, so a claim about an object's documented origin, its dating, or scholarly debate over its authenticity needs an independent art historical or archaeological source addressing that question directly rather than the cathedral's own custodial description of what it currently holds.
