Description

Το Λεύκωμα αυτό, με υδατογραφίες και σχέδια ξυλόστεγων εκκλησιών της περιοχής του Τροόδους, είναι μια ευπρόσδεκτη προσθήκη στη μελέτη της ιδιάζουσας αυτής Αρχιτεκτονικής, που μόνο στην Κύπρο παρατηρείται. Ούτε στην Ελλάδα, ούτε στα Βαλκάνια, ούτε και στη Μικρά Ασία υπάρχουν παραδείγματα της ιδιόμορφης αυτής ξύλινης κατασκευής. Βέβαια, εκτός Κύπρου, ξύλινες στέγες και ειδικότερα επικλινείς υπάρχουν στην Κεντρική και Βόρεια Ευρώπη. Όχι όμως και η ιδιομορφία των στεγών των κυπριακών εκκλησιών του Τροόδους, που είναι τέλεια προσαρμοσμένες στο περιβάλλον, από το οποίο και προέρχονται. Παρά την απλότητα της κατασκευής τους, οι στέγες αυτές αποδείχθηκαν πολύ ανθεκτικές και προστάτευσαν τις εκκλησίες και τις τοιχογραφίες που κοσμούσαν το εσωτερικό των εκκλησιών για αιώνες.

– Αθανάσιος Παπαγεωργίου, Βυζαντινολόγος

***

This Album of watercolours, pencil and ink drawings of the timber-roofed churches in the Troodos mountains, is a welcome addition to the study of this unique architectural style, which is found only in Cyprus. Neither in Greece nor in the Balkans or even in Asia Minor do we come across similar examples of this singular timber construction. Of course, timber roofs, especially pitched ones, exist outside Cyprus too, in Central and Northern Europe. But they do not have the uniqueness of the roofs found in the churches of the Troodos mountains, which are perfectly adapted to the environment they sprang from. Despite the simplicity of their construction, these roofs have proved to be quite durable and have protected the churches and the frescoes that have decorated their interiors over the years.

– Athanasios Papageorgiou, Byzantinist
