Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cellae Trichorae and Other Christian Antiquities in the Byzantine Provinces of Sicily With Calabria and North Africa, Including Sardinia, Vol. 1
After two or three fruitless errands into Calabria and Sardinia, fruitless at any rate so far as this particular question is concerned, my attention was directed to two trefoil chapels in the central plain of Northern Tunis.
A visit to these two buildings satisfied me that there is nothing Byzantine about them either in origin, in plan, or in purpose, and that they belong to the same early period in Christian history after the Peace of the Church as the monastery churches at Sohag, the chapel of the Trinity at S. Honorat, and the two chapels in the cemetery of S. Callixtus at Rome.
