Recenzje

'The book provides a first attempt at a general synthesis of a topic that was never discussed from a longue durée perspective. The author politely reacts against the tendency, still underlying many art-historical studies following a famous article by Richard Krautheimer, to consider all buildings that came to be described in medieval and early modern sources as inspired by or stemming directly from the Jerusalem Holy Sepulcher and other loca sancta churches as generic, symbolic, or basically inaccurate replicas of their archetypes.' Michele Bacci, The American Historical Review
