Church Architecture of Late Antique Northern Mesopotamia examines
the church architecture of Northern Mesopotamia between the fourth
and eighth centuries. Keser Kayaalp focuses on settlements, plan
types, artistic encounters, the remarkable continuity of the
classical tradition in the architectural decoration, the
heterogeneity of the building techniques, patrons, imperial
motivations, dedications of churches, and stories that claim and
make spaces. Employing archaeological and epigraphical material and
hagiographical and historical sources, she presents a holistic
picture of the church architecture of this frontier region,
encompassing the cities of Nisibis (Nusaybin), Edessa (Sanliurfa),
Amida (Diyarbakir), Anastasiopolis (Dara/Oguz), Martyropolis
(Silvan), Constantia (Viransehir), and their surroundings, and the
rural Tur Abdin region. The period covered spans the last centuries
of Byzantine and the first century and a half of Arab rule, when
the region was, on the one hand, a stage of war and riven by
religious controversies, and a cultural interspace on the other.
Keser Kayaalp discusses the different dynamics in this frontier
region and the resulting built environment and church architecture
in pursuit of providing a regional contribution to the study of the
transformation that the Byzantine civilization underwent in the
late antique period and understanding the continuities and changes
after the Arab conquest.
