This book represents the first detailed study of Byzantine churches on the island of Sardinia. 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, concluding that the Sardinian churches are datable to the early Byzantine period. Numerous architectural drawings and color photographs illustrate the churches.

„This book represents the first detailed study of Byzantine churches on the island of rdinia and aims to bring them into the mainstream discussion of Byzantine architectur. (...) This overview of church typology demonstrates that most are datable to the early Byzantine period and that most also had a funerary function, given their location in or near cemeteries. Numerous architectural drawings and color photographs illustrate the churches. The book is intended for scholars and students of Byzantine and Late Antique architecture, as weil as for those interested in larger questions of Byzantine history, material culture, and religion.“<br/><br/>In: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.KunstbuchAnzeiger.de">www.KunstbuchAnzeiger.de</a>, März 2014.
