Search Tips
Our search has the following Google-type functionality:
+ (addition symbol)
If you use '+' at the start of a word, that word will be present in the search results.
eg. Harry +Potter
Search results will contain 'Potter'.
- (minus symbol)
If you use '-' at the start of a word, that word will be absent in the search results.
eg. Harry -Potter
Search results will not contain 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between 2 words, then both those words will be present in the search results.
eg. Harry AND Potter
Search results will contain both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between 2 words, then either or both of those words will be present in the search results.
eg. 'Harry OR Potter'
Search results will contain just 'Harry', or just 'Potter', or both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, that word will be absent in the search results. (This is the same as using the minus symbol).
eg. 'Harry NOT Potter'
Search results will not contain 'Potter'.
" " (double quotation marks)
If you use double quotation marks around words, those words will be present in that order.
eg. "Harry Potter"
Search results will contain 'Harry Potter', but not 'Potter Harry'.
* (asterisk)
If you use '*' in a word, it performs a wildcard search, as it signifies any number of characters. (Searches cannot start with a wildcard).
eg. 'Pot*er'
Search results will contain words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er', such as 'Potter'.

This landmark book is the first to integrate historical, archaeological, and art-historical evidence to provide a comprehensive account on one of the oldest Ethiopian churches. The church of Yemrehanna Krestos is named after the eponymous king of the Zagwe dynasty, who is said to have ruled Ethiopia for some forty years in the second half of the twelfth century. It is part of a royal site including a building considered to be the kings residence, an adjacent reception building, and a large necropolis with the tomb of Yemrehanna Krestos, his wife or daughter. The church is particularly interesting in many ways. Its ground plan is derived from that of the Mediterranean basilica and presents a variant frequently used in Coptic Egypt. The central part of the sanctuary is covered by a dome painted inside with crosses and floral elements. The exterior walls present horizontal alternating dark and white bands of wood and plaster over stone, while elaborate window traceries are carved alternately in white stone and dark wood. Carved and painted wood (i.e. beams, wall panels, etc) dominates the interior, although some elements are executed in painted stucco. The church is further decorated with murals and contains two ancient, portable wooden altars and two large 16th-century triptychs bearing many inscriptions.
