Jordan is exceptionally rich in churches for the most part dating after the 5th century, many being in the large cities but sometimes also in towns of lesser importance. The walls, but above all the pavements, with their rich mosaic d cor, are often well conserved when protected by a covering of sand or earth. Over the last twenty years, an interest has also developed for the evolution of liturgical rites and therefore for the material installations which reveal their trace in places of worship. This book is divided into two parts. A continuous account examines successively the ecclesiastical organisation of the territory in the period under consideration, the repartition of the churches in the cities and in the countryside, the different types of plans and the resulting technical specificities (wood roofing, vaulted apses, and eventually domes), the mode of floor decoration in function of the plans, and sometimes the wall decoration, and also the liturgical furnishings (altar, ambo, seats) and installations (chancel, precincts, reliquaries) which are associated. Numerous synoptic tables and typological plates allow a rapid glance at the particularities provided by archaeology which, given the scarcity of literary sources, is essential for the history of the Churches in the provinces which correspond with Jordan at the present time, the hagiography in the region, the economic and social history, and the evolution in the liturgy. The inventory, interrupted in 1998, includes a normalised analysis of the architecture and liturgical furnishings of about 180 monuments. It reproduces and translates the numerous inscriptions (in general on mosaics) which allow quite precise dating of the churches between the 6th and the 8th centuries, sometimes the names of the titular saints and the circumstances of their construction or their decoration. The book is lavishly illustrated. This book was awarded the Schlumberger Price 2002 of the 'Acad mie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres'. La Jordanie est exceptionnellement riche en glises, pour la grande majorit post rieures au Ve si cle, nombreuses dans les grandes villes mais parfois aussi dans des bourgs de moindre importance. Les murs, mais surtout les pavements, avec leur riche d cor de mosa que, sont souvent bien conserv s quand ils ont t prot g s par les remblais. Depuis une vingtaine d?ann es on porte aussi int r t l? volution des rites de la liturgie et donc des installations mat rielles qui en sont la trace dans les difices de culte. Le livre se divise en deux parties. Un expos continu examine successivement l?organisation eccl siastique du territoire dans la p riode consid r e, la r partition des glises dans les cit s et les campagnes, les diff rents types de plans et les sp cificit s techniques qui en d coulent (couverture en charpente, absides vo t es, coupoles ventuellement), le mode d?ornementation des sols en fonction des plans, parfois celui des murs, puis le mobilier liturgique (autel, ambon, si ges) et les installations (estrades, enceintes, reliquaires) qui lui sont li es. Des tableaux synoptiques nombreux et des planches typologiques permettent une vision rapide des particularit s livr es par l?arch ologie qui, faute de sources, est essentielle l?histoire des glises des provinces qui correspondent la Jordanie actuelle, l?hagiographie de la r gion, l?histoire conomique et sociale, et l? volution de la liturgie. L?inventaire, arr t en 1998, comprend une analyse normalis e de l?architecture et des installations liturgiques de 180 monuments environ. Il reproduit et traduit les nombreuses inscriptions (en g n ral sur mosa que) qui permettent de dater assez pr cis ment les glises entre le VIe si cle et le VIIIe si cle, parfois de conna tre les saints titulaires et les circonstances de leur construction et de leur ornementation. L'ouvrage est abondamment illustr . Cet ouvrage a re u le prix Schlumberger 2002 de Acad mie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres.
