Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II SSyzantine (SQuredes of tde Sast AS we have already said, the basilican type of church, so apparent in Italy, underwent a marked change when Christian architecture became established at Constantinople, and thence in other places under Byzantine influence. The use of a single apse became developed into a plan exhibiting apsides in the several limbs of the church, while from the semi-dome over the altar originated one or more complete domes covering various spaces of the roof surface.

The walls were covered with marble from pavement to roof; the nave was ceiled; and the dome, as well as the roof, was covered with plates of brass.

The church erected by S. Helena at Bethlehem, over the Cave of the Nativity, about the year 330, must be considered the most perfect example of the age of Constantine in Palestine. This church is indeed a basilica, but one sh...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Hill was born to Thomas Hill and Mary Sophie, who was the daughter of Review Charles Thorold, Rector of Ludborough, Lincolnshire.
He was educated at the Westminster School and subsequently went to take a degree in the Natural Science Tripos at Jesus College, Cambridge.
He took an interest in archaeology and architecture and published several books about Cambridgeshire. In 1882 he became a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. Thomas Hill had been the head of the company since William"s death in 1871, and when Thomas died in 1893 Arthur took over.
