This book records the results of excavations and investigations
undertaken by the Egypt Exploration Society between 1963 and 1998 on the
largest surviving building, the Cathedral Church, on the significant
site of Qasr Ibrim, one of the very few not totally destroyed by
inundation following the construction of the Aswan Dam and the creation
of Lake Nasser. It sets out the archaeological evidence, which has
resulted from excavations and a detailed study of the surviving fabric,
and provides an interpretation of that evidence for the construction of
the Cathedral Church including its subsequent abandonment and use as a
domestic dwelling and then an Ottoman Mosque. It also places the
building and the site within the context of Medieval Nubia.
