Description

Book Synopsis: Published in 1909 and long out of print, The Thousand and One Churches remains a seminal study of the postclassical monuments of Anatolia. Now a new generation of readers can learn of the extensive remains of the sprawling early Christian site known as Binbirkilise ("Thousand andamp; One Churches," near Konya), excavated by Ramsay andamp; Bell in 1907. The book provides extensive analysis of other early Christian andamp; Byzantine sites across Anatolia that Bell visited at that time. Because many of the monuments have long since disappeared, this documentation is now invaluable, andamp; Bell's extensive photographs provide a unique view of travel andamp; archaeology more than a century ago. For this new edition more than 250 high-quality digitized images from the Gertrude Bell Archive at Newcastle University (UK) replace the original illustrations, andamp; the editors' Foreword lays out the historical andamp; cultural context for the undertaking. Ousterhout andamp; Jackson recount the lives andamp; careers of the two authors andamp; the tale of their collaboration on the excavation andamp; subsequent book. Publication of this volume was supported by a grant from the Joukowsky Family Foundation.
