Excerpt from The Catacombs of Rome
In some of the buildings there are vast collections of what may be called the cu riosities of the ancient and modern world; some of them procured by excavations among buildings covered by the wreck of the earthquake or volcano, or thrown down by barbarian violence; others gathered by diligent search over all parts of the earth. During long periods of its history the Ro man Church was destructive of all beauty, both in nature and in art but for some cen turies it has endeavoured to make its central seat attractive to all classes of visiters. The scholar and the artist, the stupid clown and the filthy barefooted pilgrim, can each find his favourite shrines, saints, and priesthood. There is the shrine Of St. Luke, whom they have presumed to enthrone as the patron saint of painters, as well as one of St. An thouy, to whom they have assigned the special care of asses and horses. NO degree of refinement, no depgh of brutal ignorance.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the labyrinthine catacombs of Rome, revealing the hidden world of early Christianity. These vast subterranean cities were once the refuge of persecuted believers, and their walls bear silent witness to the faith, struggles, and triumphs of those who sought sanctuary within. Through inscriptions, sculptures, and historical accounts, the author provides a vivid and immersive glimpse into the lives and beliefs of the ancient Christian community. By exploring the origins, purpose, and cultural significance of the catacombs, the book sheds light on the growth of Christianity from an obscure sect to a dominant force in the Roman Empire. The author examines the catacombs' role as a place of worship, burial, and social interaction, and discusses the evolution of Christian art and symbolism within these underground spaces. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in early Christian history, archaeology, or the broader social and cultural context of ancient Rome. It provides a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of the early Church, and offers insights into the enduring legacy of Christianity on Western civilization.
