 Vasari was echoed in the 16th century by François Rabelais, who referred to Goths and Ostrogoths ("Gotz" and "Ostrogotz").The polymath architect Christopher Wren was disapproving of the name Gothic for pointed architecture.He compared it with Islamic architecture, which he called the 'Saracen style', pointing out that the pointed arch's sophistication was not owed to the Goths but to the Islamic Golden Age.
