Good in that author makes plenty of quotes from scholarship in variety of languages, drawing examples not only from Andalucia; though he tends to overquote rather than explain (e.g. 179-82 makes 12 quotes from same piece by Hugh Kennedy; and does this for other scholars as well). 200 Es verdad que los tiempos antiguos no parecen tener continuidad con los andalusíes en el tema hidráulico.

Sartre-Fauriat, Annie, ed., Les voyages dans le Hawran (Syrie du Sud) de William John Bankes (1816 et 1818), Bordeaux & Beirut 2004. - Banks spent nine weeks in this region, and brought back 119 sheets of info, recto-verso, which are subject of this book, well illustrated, with lots of inscriptions copied out. Editor reckons only Seetzen (1805),Burckhardt (1810 & 1812) Otto Friedrich von Richter (1815) and James Silk (1816) had preceded him in this region. Boxes with Bankes' stuff found in 1992, Kingston Lacy having been deeded to Nat. Trust in 1981. Then sent to Dorset Archives. He produced series of commented sketches, as it were. 165-270 for a site-by-site commentary of Bankes' folios, useful because it gives information on what things looked like then, and what (sometimes fragments or nothing, sometimes everything) remains today; folio V A 6 for a house at Bosra: “I have perhaps hardly done justice to the graceless deformity of the Columns, which are a sort of caricatured Ionic drawn out into extreme length and slenderness, and their capitals barbarous and ill executed.” folio V A 12 of the theatre: “Were not the Cipoline columns in the Mosque the ornaments of this ruin.” folio V A 13 clear from his drawing of the Bosra theatre that only the top ring of seats protruded, plus part of the steps down to the next ring; folios V B 1-9 for the temple of Qanawat; folios V D 1-9 for the tower and temple at Sanamein, with plentiful drawings of the decorations. On folio D7r “Sunnymaine, 1.2.3.4 stones perforated to serve as windows in the Mosch. such are not uncommon in the Hauran. One of them it is plain is of christian Times.” folios V E 1-12 for houses at Ezra. folio VE9 has “Inscription built into the wall of the Shech's house, the characters may be upside down, but I have copied them as they stand.” folios V G 1-7 for Suweida; -not ANU not NLA Arias, Gonzalo, Repertorio de caminos de la Hispania romana.

Ventura Villanueva, Angel, El abasticimiento de agua a la Cordoba romana, I: el acueducto de Valdepuentes, Cordoba 1993: very well illustrated. concludes 163 that this aqueduct is indeed Roman and not caliphal, as had been hitherto thought; 117-21 Fases de la obra.

Fasolo, Michele, Antichi paesaggi agrari d'Italia nelle banche dati dell'AGEA, Rome 2006: thing on later perceptions of centuriation; 9-34 for L'agricoltura romana: fonti letterarie – aspetti tecnici ed alimentazione; 35-51 on centuriation 111-249 for an atlante of centuriation by Regio, with the striations laid over aerial photographs; - it is obvious that not many layouts would have been visible on the ground, since thereare few visible even from the air: the overlays are necessary. For example, although Terracina (118-19), Capua (124-5), Aquileia (234-5), Bassano (226-7) or Asolo (228-9), Cremona (216-17), Lucca (172-3) and especially Padua (224-5) might have been work-outable on the ground itself, most are unclear even from the air.

See fig 94 for the Byzantine shafts and capitals flanking the barbican at Masyaf Citadel; - a good book to have for the excellent illustrations, showing how the places look now, and also what has been torn down to give them their present appearance, which at Aleppo Citadel includes a variety of visitor facilities, including a Visitor Centre in the old barracks (265-72). Pentz,Peter, Hama. Fouilles et recherches de la Fondation Carsberg 1931-8, 1V.1, text: The medieval citadel and its architecture, Copenhagen 1997: 63-5 for the House of Mosaics, a Byz house taken over by the Arabs for habitation or possibly as a bath-house, and some of the figurative mosaics (which were in seven rooms) removed, presumably from Moslem iconoclasm; 93-5 for evidence of the continuation of Christianity after the Arab Conquest; Ploug, Gunhild, Hama. Fouilles et recherches de la Fondation Carsberg 1931-8, Copenhagen 1985. 129-47 for catalogue of architectural finds: only bits and pieces and the odd column shaft and capital, indicating just how comprehensively the material has been robbed out, some of it of course to go to the Great Mosque, itself taken over from a Christian basilica; De Miranda, Adriana, Water architecture in the lands of Syria: the water-wheels, Rome 2007: with excellent bibliography; 48-58 for ancient and later refs to hydraulic norias, which author reckons have been working in Syria since at least 3rdc AD; 79-88 for ancient and Islamic references to water wheels – i.e. the technology is Roman: cf. fig 98 of the sqaiya at Formia,Italy. Decouvrir l'art islamique en mediterranee. Un livre de Musee sans Frontieres, Vienna et al 2007: very wellillustrated, and the usual supporting texts – reuses at least some illustrations from the 8vo volumes – so is this a kind of omnium gatherum? Doesn't go into sufficient detail in anything; but excellent as an overall briefing; 12-17 Chapoutot-Remadi, Mounira, for an excellent chronology from Justinian to the end of the Ottoman Empire; Segal, Arthur, From function to monument. Urban landscapes of Roman Palestine, Syria and Provincia Arabia, Oxford 1997 3 for the importance of the colonnaded street, which arrived at the end of the first century: “Where colonnaded streets reached a city gate or sanctuary or where they intersected, decorative squares and public plazas were being designed in increasing numbers. The same applies to triumphal arches: originally erected to commemmorate a specific historic event, these were now integrated as points of architectural emphasis, monumental signposts at various intervals along the colonnaded street. Also, the nymphaeum, once marking the site of a spring and dedicated to the nymphs thought to dwell there, now became incorporated in the urban landscape as “street decor” by being turned into a monumental fountain whose theatrical facade formed a point of response. Different, however, is the case of the tetrapylon: a “baroque” development of the triumphal arch, it was invented from the start to serve as a prominent demarcation of the intersection of two colonnaded streets.” 3-4: And so similar are various layouts, and the style so “international,” because “even ways of design and decoration were so similar that it is hard to distinguish between, say, a triumphal arch in Timgad in North Africa and one standing in Gerasa. It is almost as though throughout the Empire cities turned to one and the same illustrated catalogue or copy book when they chose the model for the triumphal arch, nymphaeum, or tetrapylon they wanted to erect. This was a lexicon of architectural forms which left little or no room for the creative imagination and inventiveness of local architects and builders, and included primarily free-standing columns, hanf- and quarter-engaged columns, pillars and pilasters, “Syrian” and “broken”pediments, and rectangular or semicircular niches intended for statues...” 5-53: Colonnaded streets; 48-9 for a tabular listing of 22 colonnaded streets , of which 4 are in Bosra, three in Scythopolis, and three in Gerasa; 55-81 Public plazas; 83-149 Gates and gate-like structures; 151-68 Nymphaea; - all very well illustrated with photographs,plans and diagrams; NB he gives the length and breadth of colonnades etc – but NOT the height of any columns!!

But no concern for either dates or historical context. Les Omeyyades. Naissance de l'art islamique, Vienna et al 2000, in the series Musees sans frontieres.

Viguera Molins, Maria Jesus, & Castillo, Concepción, eds., El esplendor de los Omeyas cordobeses.

Profusely illustrated, with plenty of early (e.g. 1905) photographs to show before-and-after, and excellent drawings of architectural details, elevations and sections of the reconstructed appearance – obviously a very splendid affair. 204 “The palace or palace complex was organised on the base of the infrastructure of the remains of Roman monumental constructions which were almost certainly in a state of ruin, and advantage was taken of them by the Umayyad builders. This re-use of certain elements established a certain unavoidable basis which meant the introduction of irregularities in a plan which, at least in its conceptions, was careful and regular.” 146-50 for parallels with other Omeyyad structures; Pallas, D., Les monuments paleochretiens de Grece decouverts de 1959 a 1973, Rome 1977: a long list, with plentiful floor mosaics, capitals, and church furniture – so obviously not everything robbed out, although presumably nearly all the columns for structures now underground had gone centuries ago. cf. the useful subject-index 311-19. Ovadiah, Asher, Corpus of Byzantine churches in the Holy Land, Bonn 1970: supported by 74 plates of plans, but without photographs; 15: “churches ... west of the Jordan – up to 1964 ... deals with churches which have been excavated or surveyed during recent decades ... lists 161 churches.” the catalogue (17-183) is followed by Summary and Conclusions (185-218). He catalogues 127 basilicas, 58 chapels, and 5 central-plan buildings. 206: “Of the 197 churches 135 have floors of coloured mosaic with geometric patterns, plant and animal motifs, and pictures of amphorae and crosses ... / ... A few churches, especially the largest and most splendid ones, were almost invariably decorated with wall mosaics only” - and cites Bethlehem and Mount Gerizim, where at both of which glass cubes have been found. 207 “ornamental marble is not found in Palestine, and had therefore to be imported from abroad, making it very expensive. / It may be assumed that urban churches at least were wholly or partly faced or paved with marble. This is confirmed in some cases by literary sources (as for example the churches at Gaza) and in others by surviving archaeological fragments which indicate that only 9 out of the total of 197 churches were faced or paved with marble. It is likely that there existed more churches with marble facing or paving, but in some cases most of their walls have not survived and in others the marble has been dismantled, and looted in the course of time.” 212 “The Christians, however, adopted the practice common at the time of using ready-made building stones taken from earlier structures, just as they took columns and capitals, doorposts and lintels” - though he has nothing to say about marble shafts. AlSayyad, Nezar, Bierman, Irene A., & Rabbat, Nasser, eds., Making Cairo medieval, Oxford 2005: 2-3: “The process through which Cairo was “medievalized” consisted of two separate but overlapping parts. First, the representation of medieval Cairo through literary narratives, painting, photography, etc. Second, and not remote from the first, either chronologically or conceptually, came the fabrication of a “medieval” Islamic Cairo on the ground through the reorganization of the physical space of the city, the work of the Comite de Conservation des Monuments de l'Art Arabe, etc. Both parts fit snugly within the larger context of orientalism, and more specifically, they illustrate how the East has been an inextricable part of the West's self-representation as modernity's locus and history's peak.” 201-34 Hampikian, Nairy, “Medievalization of the Old City as an ingredient of Cairo's modernization: case study of Bab Zuwayla”: excellent overview, with change-over-time diagrams, showing just how much has altered, and discussing the work and interventions of the Comité.

Everything punctilioisly referenced in 1333 footnotes but, annoyingly, she does not provide a separate bibliography (only a list of frequently cited works; Petersen, Andrew, A gazetteer of buildings in Muslim Palestine (part 1), Oxford 2001: 31-3 for materials, noting 32 “marble was imported in large quantities in the Roman and Byzantine periods and continued to be used during the early Islamic period ... Marble found on buildings of later periods was usually the result of reuse rather than import of fresh stone. It was particularly favoured as floor slabs in mosques and other public buildings. Marble was also used for lintels, inscriptions and decorative details in mihrabs.” Refers to Perath, I., Stone building and building stone in Israel, report EG/38/84, Geological Survey of Israel, Jerusalem 1984, 78 for Ramla as a centre for marble-cutting using a sand abrasion technique. 327-36 for a decent bibliography, but there is no subject-index, and hence one must go through this well-illustrated catalogue site by site. NB does all dates, not just mediaeval and Ottoman material. 68-91 for Acre; pl.264 for doorway of the Khan al-Pasha at Nazareth, incorporating mediaeval stonework from the Church of the Annunciation, 200m distant, incl. frieze and entablature blocks, probably from its west door. 161-75 for the remains of Jaffa, including a sketch of its architectural history; - useful book, very well done, with lots of quotes from inscriptions, descriptions of buildings, etc. - recommend for ANU Rosen-Ayalon, Myriam, Art et archeologie islamiques en Palestine, Paris 2002: - straightforward accound giving an overview, but not much detail on anything. 197-207 for excellent bibliography; 43-53 for the Omayyad chateaux; 53-60 for the foundation of Ramla; 79-84 for Caesarea; - does the whole thing chronologically, soe.g.Ramla can be traced from the Omayyad period onwards; Pierotti, Piero, Pisa e Accon.

Roman Palestine and the marble trade, Constance 1998: 162: “about 40% of the marble sculpture of the Roman period recorded in Israel originated in Caesarea” 40-43 for a summary of the Imperial marble trade; 45-230 for the catalogue, with architectural members chiefly from Ascalon, caesarea and Scythopolis, and the sculpture and sarcophagi more widely spread. 231-65 for “Roman Palestine and the Imperial marble trade system” 240: “already Herod became one of the first promoters of the new policy, intensively implanting buildings in existing complexes or building over them ... / Marble, introduced to the country after the turbulent period of the Jewish wars (66-135 C.E.), certainly changed the designs used up to that time. In a continuation of Herodian building activity, at least atAscalon and caesarea, “marmorstil” contributed to the redesign of buildings erected previously under herod using local stone. These became civic centers bearing the new image typical of Roman imperial structures, including the message implied in their architectural and sculptural design.” 245-59 for sources of the marble now in Roman Palestine, with Proconnesus as the main supplier 263-4 for Marble in Syria, Arabia and Phoenicia: in Lebanon, no use of architectural marble, but some revetments; in the Decapolis, the only “massive” use of marble is at Scythopolis; marble used more for sculpture than for arechitecture in both Syria and Arabia – no marble at Gerasa, either for architecture or sarcophagi; only 3 marble statues from theatre at Amman; at Bosra theatre, the scenae frons pedestals, bases and capitals are of marble, while the columns and cornices are of limestone; marble extensively used at petra, “but almost exclusively limited to revetment plaques.” - and apparently ditto Palmyra. 267-73 for marble importation in Byzantine Palestine – supplied to more places, but in much smaller quantities Noble, Peter S., ed., Le voyatge d'Oultremer en Jherusalem de Nompar, Seigneur de Caumont, Oxford 1975: 67-9 for author's description of Monreale ou il avoit de plus soutils et estranges ouvratges; large par dedans et tout autour de grans pierres de marbre obree a belle rengue sutilement pousees; and also describes the very rich small baptismal chapel, destroyed in the time of Archbishop Los Cameros (1656-68).

But nothing to say on reuse,presumably because everything went with the church's 9thC destruction; hence author illustrates only a few fragments of marble, Roman period onward, on plates 6-22: and these are fragments, so presumably the whole place was robbed out.

Lacoste, Yves, Ibn Khaldoun. Naissance de l'histoire, passé du tiers monde, Paris 1998. NB first produced in 1966, hence (as author explains in a new preface) his emphasis on underdevelopment, which was a preoccupation of Algeria in that decade. 123-57 Le devenir de l'Etat – his value procede essentiellement de la finesse de son analyse des structures sociales et politiques de l'Afrique du Nord medievale. 159-76 for his explanation of the decline of states, and the fecklessness of citizens: La mise en accusation des citadins; Cheddadi, Abdesselam, Les Arabes et l'appropriation de l'histoire. Emergence et premiers developpements de l'historiographie musulmane jusqu'au Iie / VIIIe siecle, Arles 2004. 363-72 for bibliography; 159-302 for the importance of chronicling the life of the Prophet, of establishing Arab identity with the hadith – several aspects of these depend on Christian tradition and writing. - an intensely theoretical work, with an index – but nothing on architecture and not much on Ibn Khaldun. Et-Tarikh, Majallat, ed., Actes du Colloque international sur Ibn Khaldoun, Algiers 1978, Algiers 1982: generally a collection of short resumes of papers, but cf. 347-56 Bourouiba, Rachid, Place de l'architecture dans l'oeuvre d'Ibn Khaldoun: this is a straightforward exposition of quotes from IK, but without reference to other scholars, or much discussion of his links with other scholars; 115-37 Ley, Hermann, Societe bedouine et societe citadine dans l'oeuvre d'Ibn Khaldoun – in German, which he entitles Evolution und Zyklus in den “Prolegomenes”, and does with references to that work, but without any footnotes.

This growth extended from the maritime cities of the Syro-Palestinian coast to the inland villages of Syria (judging at least from Dehes), to the towns and farms of the Negev. During the eighth and ninth centuries, changes occurred. The village of dehes in northern Syria was intensively occupied without interruption until the ninth or tenth century. Caesarea Maritima continued to flourish, although it contracted in size with the abandonment of many previously occupied areas ... There does not appear to be archaeological evidence for the widespread and violent destructions often associated by scholars with the Sassanid persian and Muslim conquests of Palestine in the first half of the seventh century ... Many if not most of the towns, villages, and farms discussed in this volume appear to have been abandoned some time between the4 late eighth to late ninth century. This suggests that the settled areas shrank and the frontier contracted.” 195-214 chapter on “Did Syria-Palestine decline in the mid-sixth century?” wwhich concentrates of Caesarea Maritima; Clauss-Balty, Pascale, ed., Hauran III: l'habitat dans les campagnes de Syrie du Sud aux epoques classique et medievale, Beirut 2008; 299-310 for excellent bibliography; 41-79: Clauss-Balty, Pascale, “Maisons romano-byzantines dans les villages de Batanee: missions 2002-2004” From the summary 328: “ces grandes maisons ont ete concues et construites entre le IIIe et le Vie siecle. Apres avoir ete endommagees, par le seisme de 749 probablement, elles ont connu des phases de reconstruction, tc., d'abandon et de reoccupation successives jusque vers les annees 1960-1970, date marquant leur abandon definitif et le debut d'un processus de degradation importante.” He surveyed 20 houses in 6 villages; 79: Partout ces anciennes habitations risquent de disparaitre dans les prochaines decennies si les destructions suivent le rhythme pris depuis une trentaine d'annees. - 135-68 including illustrations: Stanzl,Guenther., “Die Palastvilla von Inkhill: Bauforschung und Restaurierung” - with several examples of spolia; building phases reckoned as 4/5thC, 6thC, early Islamic 7/8thC, and ?19/20thC. - 183-231 incl illustrations: Dentzer-Feydy, Jacqueline, “Le décor architetural des maisons de Batanee”: richly decorated doors, lintels, windows, arches etc with motifs from Greco-Roman architecture - crowns, vines, colonettes,pagan altars, chandeliers,lamps, vases, shells and some divine figures – all probably with an apotropaic significance. 196 for a chart.

Actas del I congreso de castellología ibérica, Palencia ?1994: 71-146 Zozaya, Juan, “Fortificaciones tempranas?”: with a long table 86-9 indicating wall characteristics, including use of spolia; as he remarks 103 Es habitual en lugares representativos, y suelen estar en lugares visibles ... NO denota necesariamente una cronología,pues se usa hasta monentos tardíos, como en la “Puerta del Cristo” de la Alcazaba de Málaga o en la del castillo de Jimena de la Frontera, con la inclusión de epigrafía romana, en una edificación claramente almohade.

Mediaeval accounts have it that Fred II's palace and the Angevin city walls both built in buona parte con materiale lapideo proveniente dalle rovine dell'antica Luceria. But not enough left of the palace to verify this tradition.Some antique blocks also reworked – cf. his figs 1 & 2; others reused in the town, e.g. vegetal frieze from a funerary monument reused in S.
