The Chronology of some Middle-Byzantine Churches
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 October 2013
Extract
Millet has established that the Greek church-builders were in a large measure independent of their contemporaries in the imperial capital. The independent Greek School whose limits he sought to trace reached the peak of its achievement in the two centuries prior to the Latin occupation, and most of the Byzantine churches in Central Greece and the Peloponnesus belong to this period. Millet's approach to these Middle-Byzantine churches was retrospective, his starting-point being Mistra, capital of the restored imperial province. He was interested in the Greek tradition less for its own sake than for its contribution to the later architecture of the last Byzantine ‘Renaissance.’ While he has endeavoured to resolve the problems which the origins of certain of its characteristic features present, and to gauge its legacy to Arta and Mistra, he has treated more summarily the development within the limits of the eleventh and twelfth centuries.

page 91 note 1 In the Εὑρετήριον τῶν Μεσαιωνικῶν Μνημείων, Ι,Ἀθηνῶν (Athens, 1927 and 1929), the Greek Archaeological Service has published an admirable survey of the Athenian churches which includes full bibliographical notes and a complete series of plans. For elevations and architectural details generally it is unfortunately dependent on previous publications which are incomplete and often inaccurate; consequently, some of the points which I have observed on the churches themselves and which are here recorded for the first time must await confirmation in the first complete publication of the buildings.

page 99 note 1 Op. cit. 1221. This is Lampardopoulos' foundation at Demitsane. A sigillion of the Patriarch Polyeuctos dated 964 (Ἐφημ. 1854, 1216; Miklosich u. Müller, V. 250) mentions the monastery as recently built; it is now deserted and in ruins. It is unlikely that the small church which Zachos has published (Δελτ. VIII (1923), 59 ff.) belongs to the original foundation. Its dome has features which are not found elsewhere before the twelfth century and it possibly belongs to an even later date.
page 99 note 2 Strzygowski à propos of Kaisariane ('Εφημ. 1902, 62) claimed that difference of style is not interpretable as the result of continually developing technique, but rather as the product of different conditions; the resources of the builder are one controlling factor, the individual taste of the architect another. This view has been disregarded both by later historians of byzantine architecture, and by Strzygowski himself in other fields of research.

page 100 note 2 Dating on structural grounds is on this account impossible. The latest of the marble fragments built into the church are of twelfth-century style; a detailed study of these, the most satisfactory evidence for the dating of the building, is not within the scope of the present article and the church is therefore not included in the chronology.

It will be seen that the motif is formed by the opposition of two identical characters; this symmetrical reduplication is typical of the Cufic inscripition which served as models for this style of ornament.

page 107 note 1 In the restoration of this church during the last century the western part was refaced without patterns. The original masonry is visible only at the east and in the lower courses of the lateral façades. A(ntonin) evidently saw the church before it was restored, for in illustrating the north Narthex door he shows a pattern in practically every joint of the surrounding masonry where now there is none (op. cit. fig. 15).
page 107 note 2 Near the Monument of Lysikrates. The plan is of thetetrastyle type (Εὑρετήριον, I, fig. 108). The east end has been plastered and a modern aisle encloses the other three façades so that only in the gables is the masonry exposed.
page 107 note 3 The masonry of the church ends abruptly a little to the east of the South Porch; that of the Exo-narthex does not bond with it.
page 108 note 1 The ill-adjustment of its masonry to that of the Exo-narthex is plainly visible on the building itself and distinguishable on the published photographs: Struck, Athen u. Attika, fig. 173; Millet, L'École Grecque, fig. 75: Εὑρετήριον, I, fig. 55.

The plan has been published by Villard, Monneret de (Inedita byzantina (Monitore Tecnico, XVIII 1912), 431Google Scholar, fig. 4, whence Millet, op. cit. fig. 139) with the title Koroni. Millet by discussing and indexing the church under two names—Ligourio and Koroni—gives the impression that there are two churches where in fact there is only one.

page 111 note 1 The church has features which connect it very closely with the twelfth-century Argive group (cf. infra, p. 127). Millet suggests that these are later additions (op. cit. 2104), but a careful inspection has revealed to me nothing to support this hypothesis. The whole of the church proper is without question of one period. The Exo-narthex alone is later, as has been indicated on both the published plans: Monneret de Villard, op. cit. 432, fig. 7, whence Millet, op. cit. fig. 141; Traquair, op. cit. fig. 29.

page 114 note 4 The Omorphe examples are actually at the south-east corner of the Parekklesion (Orlandos, Ἡ Ὄμορφη Ἐκκλησία, fig. 5) and do not necessarily prove a twelfth-century date for the whole building. Orlandos dates the church proper in the eleventhcentury and maintains that the Parekklesion was a later addition. Apart from the evidenceof the cut brick he points out (p. 41) that the south gable window is in part obscured by the roof of the chapel, and secondly that the window in the south wall of the S.W. angle compartment now opens, not to the outer air, but into the Parekklesion (for plan, fig 4; cf. fig. 14). To my mind neither of these arguments is valid. In the first case the gable window is not obscured by the original chapel roof but by that which, as Orlandos admits (p. 42), is a repair dating from the Frankish occupation. With regard to the other window it need only be said that in other churches of this size and type, unencumbered with Parekklesia, windows in this position are rare and it should be noted that at the corresponding point on the north side of the church, the wall is not pierced. The window has plainly been introduced to provide additional communication between chapel and church. Further,the masonry of the east end is uniform throughout and there is no break in its continuity at the point of junction (fig. 7). The Parekklesion window is arched in stone and identical to that of the Prothesis, and like the Bema window it has a bowl built in above it. These considerations combine to prove that the church proper is contemporary with the chapel and therefore dates, on the evidence of the cut tiles, from the second half of the twelfth century.

page 118 note 2 Lampakis phot. 1846. This fine church was demolished and replaced by a wooden-roofed chapel in 1914. The large and equally spaced windows recall Daphni; the masonry, though like Daphni in having no brick patterns, is less regular, which suggests a somewhat earlier date. Lampakis' photograph has been published by Mme. Sotiriou (Ἐφημ. 1931, 138, fig. 15), who proposes another limit for the dating of the church: ‘not earlier than the beginning of the eleventh century.’

In all these the windows have two lights, never more. Note too that in certain church annexes, such as the Kapnikarea Exo-narthex, the desire for a more open treatment has resulted in a return to the broad double arcade-window (Couchaud, op. cit. pl. 14; Castellazzi, op. cit. pl. 71; for other illustrations v. supra, p. 1081), or, as in the case of the west porch at Hosios Meletios, to the true arcade opening to the ground. But such annexes lie really outsidethe main current of church-building here examined; they are few in number and presented problems of design not met with in the churches them selves. They have thus an individual quality which contrasts sharply with the peculiar homogeneity of the church series as a whole.

page 122 note 2 The architectonic affinity of the two churches also suggests imitation (Millet, Daphni, 53), while the use in some of the windows of the later church of a true column instead of a shaft, a feature rare elsewhere outside the Katholikon, points to the same conclusion.

page 122 note 6 Gastoune; both the Bema window (pl. 29, 3) and that in the south gable (pi. 29, 2) follow the earlier type with three equal lights.
page 122 note 7 The grouped window with the raised centre light survived the Frankish occupation and was still in use during the sixteenth century to judge by the examples in the Katholikon Exo-narthex at Hosios Loukas, erected in 1582 but removed during the last century: Wulff, Hosios Lukas, pl. II, 2; S. and B., fig. 11.
