“Offers an almost definitive reconstruction of the Justinianic building and a consideration of its legacy in Byzantium, the West, and in Ottoman Constantinople; a discussion of its annexes and surrounding neighborhood; serious reassessments of the texts by Constantine the Rhodian and Nicholas Mesarites; important background information about Apostolic apocryphal literature, the notion of apostolic succession, and the complex’s short afterlife after the conquest; and significant historiographical lessons. Finally, in an era when even prestigious academic publishers opt for cheaply made paperbacks, I cannot stress enough how attractive this book is… It is a joy to hold and to read.”—Vasileios Marinis, Byzantine Review
