Excerpt: ... the bronze doors of the basilica of st. paul'S at rome I The Basilica of Saint Paul's at Rome, in common with the churches at Amaln, Atrani, Monte Cassino, and Monte Sant' Angelo, through the munificence of the Pantaleone1 family of Amalfi, in the year 1070 A.D., became the possessor of a pair of bronze valves which closed the principal entrance in the western front of the church. At this time Hildebrand, afterward Pope Gregory vii, was Abbot of Saint Paul's. Baronius records2 that in 1070 he made a journey to Constantinople, in which city these doors, as well as those just referred to, were made. Whether or not the visit of Hildebrand to the Imperial city was undertaken in connection with the doors, we do not know. It is fair, however, to presume, that he must have devoted some time and attention to the regal gift which was to be one of the glories of his church, and he doubtless had much to do with the details which appeared upon its surface. All the Byzantine doors which came into Italy during the latter half of the eleventh century were made in substantially the same manner. Comparatively small and light pieces of bronze, the surface of which bore a decoration of some kind, the thickness of which bronze hardly exceeded four millimeters, or a quarter of an inch, were spiked upon a solid backing of wood, generally oak, and then were framed about by bronze bands which overlapped the edges of the panels in order to conceal their 'fastenings. The bands were held to the wooden backing by means of round-headed bronze bolts 1 Panvinius, De Praecipuis Romae, p. 73 states the door was made at the expense of Hildebrand. This error is repeated by Severano, Le Sette C

Download or read book The Place of Narrative written by Marilyn Aronberg Lavin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1990-12-15 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at more than two hundred Italian medieval and Renaissance mural cycles, Lavin examines—with the aid of computer technology—the "rearranged" chronologies of familiar religious stories found therein. "Like many masterpieces, Lavin's book builds upon a simple idea . . . it is possible to do a computer analysis of . . . visual narratives. . . . This is the first computer-based study of the visual arts of which I am aware that illustrates how those technologies can utterly transform the study of old master art. An extremely important book, one likely to become the most influential recent study of art of this period, The Place of Narrative is also a beautiful artifact."—David Carrier, Leonardo "Covering over a millennium and dealing with the whole of Italy, Lavin makes pioneering use of new methodology employing a computer database . . . [and] novel terminology to describe the disposition of scenes of church and chapel walls. . . . We should recognize this as a book of high seriousness which reaches out into new areas and which will fruitfully stimulate much thought on a neglected subject of very considerable significance."—Julian Gardner, Burlington Magazine
Book Synopsis A History of the Popes by : John W. O'Malley, SJ
Download or read book A History of the Popes written by John W. O'Malley, SJ and published by Government Institutes. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of the Popes tells the story of the oldest living institution in the Western world—the papacy. From its origins in Saint Peter, Jesus' chief disciple, through Pope Benedict XVI today, the popes have been key players in virtually all of the great dramas of the western world in the last two thousand years. Acclaimed church historian John W. O'Malley's engaging narrative examines the 265 individuals who have claimed to be Peter's successors. Rather than describe each pope one by one, the book focuses on the popes that shaped pivotal moments in both church and world history. The author does not shy away from controversies in the church, and includes legends like Pope Joan and a comprehensive list of popes and antipopes to help readers get a full picture of the papacy. This simultaneously reverent yet critical book will appeal to readers interested in both religion and history as it chronicles the saints and sinners who have led the Roman Catholic Church over the past 2000 years. The author draws from his popular audio CD lecture series on the topic, 2,000 Years of Papal History, available through Now You Know Media (www.nowyouknowmedia.com).

Download or read book Full Circle written by Ferdinand Mount and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-27 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So much about the society that is now emerging in the twenty-first century bears an astonishing resemblance to the most prominent features of what we call the classical world - its institutions, its priorities, its entertainment, its physics, its sexual morality, its food, its politics, even its religion. The ways in which we live our rich and varied lives correspond - almost eerily so - to the ways in which the Greeks and Romans lived theirs. Whether we are eating and drinking, bathing or exercising or making love, pondering, admiring or enquiring, our habits of thought and action, our diversions and concentrations recreate theirs. It is as though the 1500 years after the fall of Rome had been time out from traditional ways of being human. This eye-opening book makes us look afresh at who we are and how we got here. Full Circleis not only wonderfully witty and brilliantly astute, but also profound and often disquieting. Ferdinand Mount effortlessly peels back 2000 years of history to show how much we are like the ancients, how in ways both trivial and crucial we arethem and they are us.
