Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Ancient Christianity and Sacred Art in Italy Christian Rome presents no solemnities so interesting, from the historic point of view, as those for the Festival of SS. Peter and Paul, which, if somewhat two much gilded with the pomp of courts, are still a splendid symbol of the most wondrous development the world has ever beheld; and the contrast suggested by local association, at the great basilica, is in a scene once enacted on the same site, when the imperial circus with its long arcades, spina, and obelisk, rose dim-defined in darkness luridly dispelled by fires consuming human victims - how enduring their pangs we known not, though we know for what they suffered, some clad in beasts' skins and thus exposed to be torn by dogs, others crucified naked, others made to light up by their death-fires the arena in which, among a pleasure-seeking crowd, Nero drove round in his chariot to enjoy the spectacle he had ordered as well for amusement as for policy, desiring thus to divert against an obscure sect the popular suspicions awakened by recent disaster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic and Monumental Rome: A Handbook for the Students of Classical and Christian Antiquity in the Italian Capital Having been urged by friends and acquaintances to prepare a second edition of a work in two small volumes: The Story of Monuments in Rome and its Environs (florence, I have, seeing how much the aspects of the subject have changed and its field become enlarged within late years, not only amplified but entirely re-written my former work - and have incorporated in these pages, with more or less altera tion, several papers read before the British and Ameri can Archaeological Society in Rome. The ground of Christian antiquities in and near that city is one I have gone over, with fuller treatment than is here attempted, in another volume: Ancient Christianity and Sacred Art in Italy. Having quitted Rome in the Summer of 1873, and not returned thither since, I refer in these pages to the state of things there existent up to that time, alluding to Monasteries and Convents, where I have occasion to mention ruins on their pre mises, as though the Cloisters were still inhabited by their former inmates. The law for suppressing such institutions had been enacted by the Italian Parlia ment, but not carried, out, before the end of the month (june, 1873) in which I last saw the Eternal City after residing there for many years.

This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Testimony of the Catacombs and of Other Monuments of Christian Art: From the Second to the Eighteenth Century, Concerning Questions of Doctrine Now Disputed in the Church In saying this, let us not be misunderstood. The book edited by Dr. Northcote may be regarded as made up of two parts, and presenting two distinct characters. The greater part of the volume is devoted to questions of historical and antiquarian research, concerning the con struction of the Catacombs, their relative dates, their pictorial ornamentation, and the like. And in this portion of their work, in which theological questions are only very indirectly and remotely involved, the editors have trodden carefully in De Rossi's steps; and have done their own part, in translation and arrangement, extremely well. And in spite of the defects upon which we are about to dwell, we gladly commend this first part of their book as the best available summary of the facts of chief importance in the history of the Roman Catacombs. It is in the later part Of their book, where their subjects are such as to command the interest of a far wider circle of readers, that the present editors have conspicuously failed. How, indeed, being what they' are, should they have done otherwise than fail P 'for in these later chapters (their Book they deal with controversial questions, which for many centuries past have been, as they still are, at issue in Christendom. And these are questions upon which (as we shall shortly see) the monuments of primitive Christianity bear a testimony the very reverse of that which a Roman controversialist would desire. And, accordingly, if men enter upon the study of the Catacombs, as these editors seem to have done, with a primary View to find there testimony in behalf of modern Romanism, they set themselves to a task in.

This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golden Age of Classic Christian Art This study is an attempt to appreciate a large and homogeneous group of classic pictures from the points of view of art, archaeology, and theology, from each of which aspects they are of unique value. The date of the great pictorial cycle of mosaics decorating the interior of the basilica of S. Maria Maggiore, Rome, has been hitherto universally accepted as fixed by the inscription on the Arch, as of the fifth century therefore. At the commencement of our studies we accepted this natural and apparently well-established conclusion; but on com paring the pictures in question with the works of art of the fifth century, both pictorial and plastic, and the theology they embody, with that of the great fifth-century theologians, Jerome and Augustine, we found that their artistic affinities were with the more classic art of the Antonines and their successors, and that the theology they clearly re ect was that of the age of the Apologists. Our work, which was considerably advanced before this opinion grew into a conviction, had to be thrown on one side therefore, and our studies recommenced from a new standpoint. Nor was the task on which we were embarking an easy one, as it was necessary to both project and design the path through the country which we were hereafter to explore as pioneers. The first principles underlying the critical analysis of the pictorial material had to be discovered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
