François Cali (1923–1980) was a French historian, art historian, editor, photographer, and typographer. He was notably recognized for his work in visual history and architecture, particularly his focus on medieval art and the spirit of the Middle Ages. His work often integrated text and photography to explore historical subjects, as seen in his collaboration with Claude Arthaud. He was a professor at Columbia University and a significant figure in French art and book design. His major works include 'L'Ordre cistercien' and 'L'Ordre ogival'.[1,2,3,4]
