Críticas:

Review - English This book represents the first detailed study of Byzantine churches on the island of Sardinia and aims to bring them into the mainstream discussion of Byzantine architecture. The buildings are described and analyzed in detail, both individually and as a group. Many of these churches are cruciform in plan and possess a dome. The book includes an analysis of this plan type as used in Early Christian and Byzantine ecclesiastical architecture from the fourth to the sixth centuries. An analysis of their typology and of the metrology employed in their construction demonstrates that two of the churches actually predate the Byzantine period and most are datable to the early Byzantine period. Numerous architectural drawings and color photographs illustrate the churches.
