[EAN: 9780955829628], [PU: The Author, Cambridge UK], : ARTHUR EVANS, KNOSSOS, PALACE OF THEODORE FYFE, Nearly new condition. No inscription. 264 pages + 14) Aegean Library: 1860. Theodore Fyfe (1875-1945) is widely known as Arthur Evans’s architect during the first five excavating seasons at the Palace of Knossos (1900-1904). From 1904 onwards Fyfe was working mainly for John James Burnet at the British Museum. From 1922 until 1936, he was Director of the Cambridge School of Architecture; and from 1926 until his retirement in 1941 he was University Lecturer in Architecture. Fyfe revisited Knossos in March 1926 and in 1926-27 he directed the excavations of a mediaeval church at Glastonbury. In 1932 he was awarded the Henry Florence Bursary, which enabled him to travel to Italy, Greece, Turkey, Syria and Egypt and to study ancient architectural remains; the results of his studies were published as Hellenistic Architecture: An Introductory Study in 1936. He died in a skating accident on 1 January 1945 at his home.
