metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the results of studies of little-known monuments of the church architecture
  of the Tәgray region (Ethiopia) — semi-rock-hewn and cave churches of historical
  provinces of Säḥart, Tämben and ᵓƎndärta. The authors consider the most interesting examples
  of both individual churches and monastery-complexes created on the basis of cave formations.
  These monuments illustrate various options for the interaction between architecture and
  landscape. These monuments have been studied much lesser than the rock-hewn basilicas of
  the Gärʽalta district. The article presents an analysis of new material collected as a result of the
  expedition carried out as part of the project no. 19–012–00299 with financial support from the
  Russian Foundation for Basic Research; issues of dating, historical and cultural significance
  of monuments and their preservation are considered. The article is devoted to the following
  monuments: the semi-rock-hewn, cave churches of Yoḥannәs Mäṭmәq Koholo (near Mäq̱älä)
  and Mikaʼel Ṣäḥilo in the Gǝğät area, the semi-rock monastery complex Abunä Arägawi Zäyä
  and Kidanä Mǝḥrät Tänsǝḥe in Dǝggwǝʽa Tämben. Especially examined surviving fragments
  of murals of Yoḥannәs Mäṭmәq Koholo church, dating from the 17th century. This church is
  noted in the report of the expedition of the University of Hamburg under the guidance of
  D. Nosnitsin, but its architecture was not specifically considered. This article first publishes
  architectural plan and section of this monument. The church of Mikaʼel Ṣäḥilo was first discovered
  and briefly described by R. Plant in the 1970s. However, from that time this church
  has not been studied. R. Plant described the monastery of Abunä Arägawi in general terms,
  but she could not visit the complex, and, as a result, its internal structure, the location of the
  buildings were not published previously. In this work, for the first time, a plan of the complex
  and its longitudinal section are published. Kidanä Mǝḥrät Tänsǝḥe previously in the scientific
  literature were presented very fragmentary. Unfortunately, both of its semi-rock-hewn cave
  churches are lost today. The article also indicates some features of these monuments.
