The book explores the architectural evolution and historical significance of Byzantine churches in Constantinople, emphasizing their artistic and religious importance within the context of the city’s rich heritage. Likely aimed at both scholars and interested readers, it seeks to illuminate how these churches reflect the theological and artistic developments of their time. The opening of the work introduces the reader to the context and motivations behind the study. Van Millingen highlights that Byzantine Constantinople was not just a political stronghold but also a center for a thriving religious community that was instrumental in shaping Christian thought and practice. He discusses the tragic fate of many churches due to natural disasters, neglect, and transformation over time, emphasizing that only a few remain today. The author expresses both a sense of loss for the grandeur that once was and a dedication to thoroughly examining the surviving structures, hoping to bring to light the intricate details of their architecture and the history they encapsulate.
