Reliefs of a religious character from Lebanon

The Roman remains of the temples at Baalbek (Heliopolis) are world-famous; less wellknown are the numerous smaller sanctuaries dated to the first three centuries A.D. that can be found scattered throughout especially NW Lebanon in the mountains of the Anti-Lebanon and in the Bekaa valley. The monograph by Z. Fani Alpi, professor of art and archaeology at the Lebanese University in Beirut, assembles the sculpted architectural decoration and figurative reliefs and altars with a religious theme that have been found in these temples. This is the reworked version of a doctoral thesis written under J.-M. Dentzer (well-known for his work in the Hauran) and submitted at Paris Pantheon-Sorbonne in 1996. Most of the sculptures described are architectural reliefs still visible in situ or objects now in the National Museum in Beirut. A substantial number, however, are from private collections, some published here for the first time. That this is the first time that so many reliefs from Lebanon are published together in a corpus is the great merit of the book.
