Produktbeschreibung

Byzantine Athens 10th-12th Centuries investigates Athens in the middle Byzantine period using the surviving architectural remains as well as the scarce literary sources. This book defines the built-up areas, streets and fortifications of medieval Athens and explores the evidence for the architectural plans of Byzantine houses. Above all, it studies the nearly 40 churches functioning in that period and suggests plans for others which have been destroyed. This volume constitutes an invaluable and unique compendium of current knowledge on Byzantine Athens.
