The book Lepuri near Benkovac by Ivan Josipović focuses on one of the largest pre-Romanesque sites discovered in Dalmatia after World War II. The author has carried out a stylistic-morphological analysis and established analogies with previously identified stonemasonry workshops of the 9th century, documenting and cataloguing a significant number of early Christian and pre-Romanesque fragments of architectural decoration and liturgical installation. Such an extensive body of documented fragments found near the church of St Martin in Lepuri brings new knowledge about Croatian pre-Romanesque sculpture, the activity of 9th-century stonemasonry workshops, as well as their historical and social context and the events that occurred in that area from prehistory to the present day.
