We are very grateful to This Web site would have been unthinkable without the kind assistance of the Administration of the Aya Sofia Museum in Istanbul for their gracious permission to photograph in the Kariye Camii Museum on a day usually closed to the public.  The staff of the Kariye Camii Museum were most helpful and patient during our visit. 

We would like to thank Dr. Adolf Hoffmann, Director, Deutsche Archäologische Institut (The German Archaeological Institute) in Istanbul and Franz Alto Bauer, DAI Fellow, for their generous assistance and warm hospitality during our visit to Istanbul.  Dr. Bauer was instrumental in obtaining the necessary permits from the Turkish Government that made our work possible.
