Trois exemples nouveaux de complexes d'églises en Syrie du Nord

Thanks to J.P. Sodini and G. Tate, three new groups from North Syria can be added to the repertoire of double churches. Jn each of the three cases, the churches (different in shape and dimensions) were constructed in stages around a central courtyard in a village community. The lack of proportions between the buildings and the surrounding community and the late development of the martyrial installations suggest the adoption of a model of double churches on a pilgrimage road. Some specialists present at Grenoble did not identify these groups as double churches. However, they are interesting cases to discuss.
