Written by two of the most eminent Anatolian experts of the day,
this book on church history and architecture in Turkey was first
published in 1909. Sir William Mitchell Ramsay (1851 1939),
Scottish classical scholar and archaeologist, and Gertrude Bell
(1868 1926), traveller, archaeologist and diplomatist, joined
forces for an expedition investigating the Hittite and Byzantine
site of Bin-Bir-Kilisse in Turkey in 1907. Bell was successful in
establishing the chronology of Byzantine churches, and her findings
constitute the middle two parts of the book, on buildings and
ecclesiastical architecture. Ramsay contributed the first and last
parts, on the historical and geographical details of the churches
and an account of other notable monuments in the region. Ramsay was
knighted in 1906 and both scholars were honoured by the Royal
Geographical Society. In 1913 Bell became one of the first women to
be elected a Fellow of the Society.
