Demus and others. "Long considered the finest example of the last flowering of Byzantine art, the Kariye Djami, before its conversion into a mosque after the Turkish conquest of Constantinople, was called the Church of the Monastery of the Chora.[...]This publication was planned as a comprehensive, thoroughly illustrated study of the representational arts in the Kariye Djami. It has taken form as a four-volume work, of which the first three volumes, already (1966) published in Bollingen Series, present a complete corpus of factual, explanatory, and illustrative materials on the mosaics and frescoes."
