Long considered the finest example of the last flowering of Byzantine art, the Kariye Djami, before its conversion into a mosque after the Turkish conquest of Constantinople, was called the Church of the Monastery of the Chora. Although scholars had known its early fourteenth-century treasures of mosaic art while they were in deplorable state and only dimly visible, it was not until 1948, shortly after the mosque had been secularized, that the Byzantine Institute of the United States, with the sanction and friendly assistance of the Turkish Department of Antiquities and the Commission for the Preservation of Ancient Monuments, began the exacting work.
