Description

The first thousand years of the Christian Church and its great monuments is the sphere of this unusual book. From the origins of the Church and its development in Rome, Ravenna and Byzantium, through the story of early Western Europe and, finally, to the Golden Age of Byzantium and its widespread influence in all the Christian East, Professor Jean Lassus traces this fascinating story in a magnificent book including over 200 illustrations, 117 in colour.
