The publication is available in 100 signed and numbered copies. It includes the book with a specially crafted cover in a handmade plexi-glass case. BYZANTINE AND POST-BYZANTINE ARCHITECTURE IN GREECE analyzes fifteen centuries of architectural activity within the area of contemporary Greece with a great number of ecclesiastical monuments that are worthy of attention and academic study. Some of these are amongst the masterpieces of Byzantine church architecture. This book attempts to systematically collect, for the first time, information on the medieval churches in Greece and to specify those features that make them remarkable. The book is divided in eight chapters that correspond to eight distinct historical periods, from the 3rd century to 1830. Each presents the political, social, economic and technological conditions under which the churches were built. The photographic material complementing this new composition of architectural history is rich and original.
