The Early Christian Monastery of Alahan occupies a terrace high in the mountains of Isauria in southern Asia Minor. Constructed din the second half of the fifth century, Its remains include three churches, a baptistry,a colonnaded walkway running the full lenght of its site, and several subsidiary buildings. It was almost certainly founded by the Emperor Zeno,[474-491] who was a native of the region, and is stands as the finest acheivment of the Isauran stone-masons and sculptors. Alahan is a key site in the history of early Byzantine architecture. The site was excavated and studied by Michael Gough, but publication was delayed by his early death in 1974; this full report has been completed by his collaborators. Edited by Mary Gough with contributions by Gerard Bakker and Jonathan Coulston. XVIII-235p. diagrams bibliography, index fold out plan + 24 pages of plates.

pp. (2). 304 (8) [Index]. 8vo. 210 mm. Nice modern faux leather binding. Hardcover. The printer apparently transposed the X & the L of the Roman numerals, changing the correct date for this edition of 1768 to 1748. Early ownership of John Evered. The right to receive tithes was granted to the English churches by King Ethelwulf in 855. The Saladin tithe was a royal tax, but assessed using ecclesiastical boundaries, in 1188. Tithes were given legal force by the Statute of Westminster of 1285. Adam Smith criticized the system in The Wealth of Nations (1776), arguing that a fixed rent would encourage peasants to farm more efficiently. The Dissolution of the Monasteries led to the transfer of many tithe rights from the Church to secular landowners, and then in the 1530s to the Crown. The system ended with the Tithe Commutation Act 1836, which replaced tithes with a rent charge decided by a Tithe Commission. The present work gives wonderful details on the tithe "value" of various monasteries, locales, and institutions. Very good. Scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W153
