Nagy, Mihály: Typological Considerations on Christian Funerary Buildings in Pannonia

26 Nagy, Mihály Note: !

NagyL. 1938, 115-119. 2 Nagy L. 1938, 126 mentions this type from Diós, or Kisdiós-puszta. A survey in 1968 only partly proved earlier informations, and the building's Christian character is questionable. See: MRT 4, p. 244 and Fig. 48, Nr. 75:5 Ugod, Diós-puszta. 3 Nagy L. 1938, 128. 4

Fülep 1984, 160-161. 8 Fülep 1984, 58: the excavated part of the building is probably an underground family burial chamber, or - considering its dimensions - it could have been the funerary basilica of the Early Christian cemetery as well. 9 Fülep 1984, 161. 10 Tóth 1994,241-272. 11 Tóth 1994, 250. 12 Tóth 1994,252. 13 Gosztonyi 1940, 56-61; Gosztonyi 1943, 6 and 11-14. 14 Nagy L. 1931, 12. 15 Parragi 1976, 158-161. 16 Radnóti 1939, 152. 17 Török 1942,208. 18 Cf. e.g. Nagy M. 1998, 36-38; and Nagy M. 1999, 115120. 19 Schultze-Steuernagel 1895, 251-253. 20 Rôder 1952, 116. 21 Jorns 1974, 430. 22 GropengieBer 1937, 117. 23 Ubl 1977, 255. 24 Soproni 1978, 61. 25 Soproni 1978, 63. 26 MRT 7, 48 no. 3:13. 27 Prodanovic-Zotovic 1964, 56-57. 28 Nagy M. 1998; Nagy M. 1999. 29 Evans 1994, 151. 30 Hiscock 2000, 175 and 281. 31 Similar wall thicknesses were observed along the Lower Pannonian limes at the watch towers of Budapest-Békásmegyer-Boathouse on the Danube; and Budapest-Békásmegyer former OKH week-end-house. See: Soproni 1976, 81, nos. 5 and 6. For 112 digiti thick walls see our chart above. 32 Hiscock 2000, 111-112 and 115: "...in terms of Platonic cosmology... equilateral triangles represent the three atmospheric elements, the square the earth, and the regular pentagon the plane figure of the dodecahedron of the universe. " 33 Tóth 1988,47-51. 34 Hiscock 2000, 217. 35 Hiscock 2000, 56-57. 36 Hiscock 2000, 215-217 and Plates 35-42 37

DeBruyne 1957,343-383. 38 Gardthausen 1924, 134-138. 39 Gardthausen 1924,26. 40 Hiscock 2000, 121 citing Augustine, De ordine II. 19.49 is a perfect illustration: "Out of several pieces of material lying around in scattered fashion [chaos] and then assembled into one design, I can make a house [cosmos]. If indeed, I am the maker and it is made, then I am the more excellent, and the more excellent precisely because I am the maker [Divine Creator]. There is no doubt that I am on that account more excellent than a house. But not on that account am I more excellent than a swallow or a small bee, for skilfully does the one build nests, and the other constructs honey-combs. I am, however, more excellent than they because I am a rational creature. Now, if reason is found in calculated measurements, does it follow that the work of birds is not accurately and aptly measured? Nay, it is most accurately and aptly proportioned. Therefore, it is not by making well-measured things, but by grasping the nature of numbers, that I am more excellent. " 41 Hiscock 2000, 130. 42 Hiscock 2000, 130-131. The niches are alternating: three of them are rectangular and four apsidal. For a mausoleum with alternating apses and rectangular niches dated to the 350s-360s see: Tóth 1988, 39-52. 43 Gardthausen 1924, 7 and 79. 44 Parragi 1976, 178. 45 Parragi 1976,177 and 181. 46 For similar form see: Gardthausen 1924 no 194: where the stem of letter rho is not longer than those of chi. 47 Hiscock 2000, 8; 13-15 on Platonic geometry; Virtuvius IX. preface 4 and 5. 48 Hiscock 2000, 63, 72. 49 Fülep 1984, 160.
