Christian Monuments Of Cyrenaica

Description

B. Ward-Perkins and R. G. Goodchild planned a detailed account of late antique and early Byzantine Cyrenaica, but both died before it had been completed. Ward-Perkins’ descriptions of thirty-five churches were found among his papers along with professional architects’ drawings which he had commissioned and a collection of photographs for most of them. These are presented here along with an introductory account of relevant Libyan history, a summary overview of the Christian monuments concerned and a brief account of recent discoveries or reports of others found subsequently in the two ancient provinces of Libya Pentapolis and Libya Sicca.
