[From back cover] Constantine's reestablishment of the capital of the Roman Empire at Byzantium, renamed Constantinople, saw the culmination of Early Christian architecture in a spectacularly original new style. This informative and intelligent account traces the history of Byzantine architecture from the early basilicas of the fourth century through the eventual diffusion of the style's power in Eastern and Western Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Chapters focus on topics such as the role of the architect, the workman, and the patron; the ecclesiastical architecture of the early, middle, and later periods; and Byzantine cities. Color plates and black-and-white, reproductions illustrate the ornate beauty and mysterious religiosity of such masterworks as the sixth-century church of Hagia Sophia and many other important buildings throughout the Byzantine-influenced world from Italy to Russia. Cyril Mango is a world-renowned authority of Byzantine architecture.
