metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The monograph presents a detailed panorama
  of the 12th–15th-century wooden religious
  architectural monuments located in
  southern and central Norway. These unique
  churches have a timber-frame (“stave”) construction
  and make up a complex of some of
  the most ancient surviving wooden buildings
  in the world. Despite this, while of indisputable
  artistic merit and historical significance
  the stave churches of mediaeval Norway remain
  insufficiently studied by Russian scholars.
  In that respect the monograph is a first attempt
  to summarize the history and specific
  character of Norwegian wooden church
  buildings. It proposes a variant method of
  classifying the structures and is accompanied
  by a detailed bibliography. The stave churches
  of Norway are analyzed in the broad context
  of wooden construction in the 7th–11th
  centuries in the British Isles, Denmark and
  Sweden, revealing them as a striking and original
  manifestation of the Norwegian architectural
  genius against the background of
  the general picture of mediaeval construction.
  It is only natural that in Norway, situated
  on the periphery of Europe, art acquired
  from the outset a distinctive local “endemic”
  character. The same factors also determined
  the unique character of the evolution of Norwegian
  construction, which was to a large extent
  founded upon the country’s domestic
  creative resources and retained its originality
  for centuries.
