A architectura byzantina : dissertação de concurso
A Portuguese architectural dissertation on Byzantine building, written by José Maria da Silva Pessânha and printed in Lisbon in 1907 by the Escola Typographica das Officinas de S. José, probably for a university competition audience. The single picture is a black-line decorative frieze of interlocking arches, scrolls and stepped bands over a row of small bow-tie motifs, suggesting a ready source for border or banding patterns in a Byzantine-revival style.
