Endnote 7 – The Church of the Holy Sepulchre (in Bologna, Italy)

For a summary of the history, see Robert Ousterhout, “Rebuilding the Temple: Constantine Monomachus and the Holy Sepulchre,” Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians 48 (1989), pp. 66–78. More recently, see Joan Taylor and Shimon Gibson, Beneath the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (London: Palestine Exploration Fund, 1994), for important observations on the site of the Constantinian building; their suggestions for its reconstruction are less useful. See also Martin Biddle, The Tomb of Christ (Sutton, 1999), whose suggestions for redating both the 11th- and 12th-century phases of construction have not been generally accepted.
