The Churches at Umm al-Jimal (el-Jimal)

Research Phase

The Churches at Umm al-Jimal (el-Jimal)

Mark Schuler (administrator) August 22, 2023

There are fifty-five churches in the northern part of the province of Arabia that are part of the dataset of this project. Of particular interest are churches clustered in urban areas. I have just posted the materials for Umm al-Jimal (el-Jimal). There are twelve churches. They are numbers A2 to A13 in the menu for Arabia. Many are Syrian in style. But some have one protruding apse and are either basilicas or hall churches/chapels. The northeast church at Hippos is of similar form. Although Mulholland has a category for such churches (Constantinopolitan), there are significant differences with those at Umm al-Jimal. Entrances flanking the apse do not occur at Umm Al-Jimal, not to mention the regional nature of the Constantinopolitan group. Another category is necessary for discussing mono-apsidal churches with a protruding apse. Tracing the originals and practices in them will be important.
