Since more than two-thirds of its territory has now been flooded by the successive Aswan dams, and much of the remainder has been surveyed by archaeologists, there is probably not a great deal remaining to be learned. The time therefore seems appropriate for a summary overview. Volume I begins with an introduction to the study as a whole, followed by descriptions of 67 churches of the Early Christian period, built between about AD 550 and 850, and 47 Classic Christian churches, built between about SD 850-1100. The second volume deals with Late and Terminal Christian churches (c. AD 1100-1500), as well as a comparative overview of the various features ofNobadian church architecture. These chapters are followed by a brief survey of the churches of Makouria and Alwa, and a final discussion of the dynamics of development and change.This volume is part of a two volume set: ISBN 9781407305349 (Volume I); ISBN 9781407305356 (Volume II); ISBN 9781407305363 (Set of both volumes).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47813544902807,"sku":"9781407305356","price":8186.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781407305356.webp?v=1778336721","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-churches-of-nobadia-volume-ii-9781407305356","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
