Corrections and updates to that earlier post:
At item i), for 'Blance of Castille' please read 'Blanche of Castile'.
At item p), for 'A late thirteenth-century Dormition fresco (1294 or 1295) in the church of the Peribleptos in Ohrid' please read 'The Dormition as depicted in the late thirteenth-century frescoes (ca. 1295) by Michael Astrapas and Eutychios in the church of the Peribleptos (now Sv. Climent Novi) in Ohrid.'

On 17. August 2011 this correspondent added (after a few additions and corrections now noted above) some links to views, etc. of churches dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos:

At that post's item b), the fifth and final links to exterior views of the Protaton church on Mt. Athos no longer function.
At that post's item d), the fourth and the sixth links to views of the church of the Dormition of the Theotokos in the Žiča monastery in Serbia no longer function. Some other views are here:

At that post's item e), please ignore the second of the three links (it's to a different site and the church in question is dedicated rather to the Presentation of the Theotokos).
Best again,
John Dillon
