This volume records the results of explorations in Egypt, conducted on behalf of the University of Pennsylvania, in January, 1907.
The author is an English architect who was attached to the staff during the seasons of 1908 and 1909, for the special purpose of making technical studies of the Early Christian buildings of Lower Nubia.
It is hoped that this book may serve to awaken public interest in a subject which has hitherto been much neglected, the history of Early Christian architecture in Egypt. It is our aim to show that this is worthy of study, both for its own sake and in connection with the Byzantine architecture of Europe and Asia. We present this memoir in the form of a simple record of observations, preferring to leave to future writers who may command a greater store of comparative material the task of drawing historical analogies and conclusions.
