I. V. Antipov

Drevnerusskaia arkhitektura vtoroi poloviny 13 – pervoi treti 14 vekov [1239–1330]. Katalog pamiatnikov (Early Russian Architecture of the Second Half of the 13th and First Third of the 14th c.: Catalogue of Buildings)

2000. pb. The author debunks the usual assessment of Russian architecture in the wake of the Mongol invasion: he argues that the number of major buildings erected (approx. seventy) and the advances in building techniques and styles resulting from new materials and influences demonstrate that the period saw a coherent, continuous development of Russian architecture in spite of the unstable political situation. Antipov catalogues all the structures for which there is adequate textual and archaeological evidence, making this book a vital source on medieval architectural history. 204 pp., 5 5/8 x 8 ins, 27 line drawings, Rus.
