520 _a"Architecture: Classic and Early Christian" by T. Roger Smith and John Slater is an illustrated handbook on architectural history written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on the architectural styles and developments of ancient civilizations, through to early Christian architecture, aiming to provide a clear overview without delving into excessive technical detail. The authors intend to offer insights into how various architectural styles are linked, emphasizing the evolution from Egyptian to Roman designs and on to early Christian contributions. The opening of the handbook outlines its purpose and structure, explaining the decision to classify architecture into distinct styles based on key building techniques, specifically focusing on beam (trabeated) and arched (round-arched) systems. The authors discuss the historical and geographical divisions that influenced architectural development, noting significant styles such as Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Early Christian architectures. By emphasizing the links between these styles and their contributions to modern European architecture, the introduction sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of notable architectural works and their characteristics throughout the ensuing chapters.
