The complete three-volume set. "The churches and chapels of Asia Minor, ancient heartland of the Byzantine Empire, house a treasury of medieval frescoes. For the last ten years Dr. Marcel Restle of the University of Vienna has explored and catalogued the paintings in seventy-eight churches, comprising essentially all of the surviving fresco paintings of Asia Minor outside Constantinople. The result of his work is presented in this three-volume publication, with more than 500 new photographs of frescoes and details. In view of the progressive deterioration of the cave churches of the area, the dcoumentary value of this publication cannot be overestimated." (dj) The first volume contains the text, and the second and third volumes contain the illustrations. Impressive.
