Descripción

The Early Christian Monastery of Alahan occupies a terrace high in the mountains of Isauria in southern Asia Minor. Constructed din the second half of the fifth century, Its remains include three churches, a baptistry,a colonnaded walkway running the full lenght of its site, and several subsidiary buildings. It was almost certainly founded by the Emperor Zeno,[474-491] who was a native of the region, and is stands as the finest acheivment of the Isauran stone-masons and sculptors. Alahan is a key site in the history of early Byzantine architecture. The site was excavated and studied by Michael Gough, but publication was delayed by his early death in 1974; this full report has been completed by his collaborators. Edited by Mary Gough with contributions by Gerard Bakker and Jonathan Coulston. XVIII-235p. diagrams bibliography, index fold out plan + 24 pages of plates. Text neat and unmarked, but some scuffing to wraps, else fine.
