Internet History Sourcebooks Project
Medieval and Byzantine Studies Web Sites
Editor: Paul Halsall
Because of the phenomenon of "link rot" and the short duration of many Internet sites, over 90% of the websites which were originally linked to from this page in 1996 have gone defunct (hence "to be added" holding spaces on this page).. The present list is restricted to those witn a secure institutional base and which have persisted for some time. All links worked as of 17 April 2019. It is, however, probable, that some of these will fail in the future. Users may attempt to locate websites by name using Google or other search engines (sometimes the sites just change their URLs), or look at pact version of wesbites which have been archived at via The Internet Archive/Way Back Machine.

A wonderful site which provided CAD drawings of 50 buildings in Constantinople as they
would have been in 1200.
- The Constantinople Project Over the past several years, Professor Ahmet Cakmak, of Princeton University's Department
of Civil Engineering and Operations Research has undertaken the structural analysis, under
earthquake loads, of the Hagia Sophia, the major church built by the Emperor Justinian
during the 6th century AD. Professor Cakmak sought to determine the susceptibility of the
structure, specifically its large dome and arches, to collapse due to the earthquakes that
often strike that part of the world. As an extension of that work into the architectural
realm, he recently offered a class which studied Byzantine structures from a structural
and art-historical perspective. One of the goals set forth in the class was for students
to construct three-dimensional models of specific Byzantine structures utilizing the
computer drafting software AutoCAD. This was the first step towards a long term goal of
creating a full model of the topography of ancient Constantinople, with models of many
Byzantine buildings in place.
