Book excerpt: The Vatican: Its History-Its Treasures by Ernesto Begni is an interesting look into the history, and lore of the Vatican, located just outside of Rome, Italy. An icon of the Catholic Church, the Vatican has been a symbol of both power and of mystery and provided thousands of years worth of controversy and conciliation. This book is an attempt to dispel some of those mysteries and offer the reader a rare glimpse into the majesty found within the walls of this hallowed institution. Begni's book begins an abridged version of the history of the Vatican and a brief general description of the sprawling Vatican palaces visible from miles around, after which is a summary of the Vatican palaces and gardens describing in intricate detail their majesty and design. The book also covers the various state apartments and chapels such as the Chapel of Nicholas, the Sistine Chapel, the Pauline Chapel, the Appartamento, the Stanze of Raphael, and the Loggie of Raphael; including a litany of historical facts and artifacts housed in each. The book also discusses the Vatican museums, collections, and the mosaic factory, including in-depth reviews of the New Picture Gallery, the Gallery of Tapestries, the Egyptian Museum, the Gregorian Etruscan Museum, the Museum of Sculpture and Ancient Paintings, the Gallery of Inscriptions, and the Christian Museum. Of course, treasures aren't only artistic or architectural, and Begni makes a point to explore the massive collections and library house at the Vatican, including the Numismatic collection, the Hall of the Geographical Charts, the Vatican Library and the Vatican Secret Archives. Finally, the book finishes with an in-depth discussion of the Vatican administration and influences of politics and religious shifts over the centuries. The Vatican: Its History-Its Treasures is a complete source for information on all things Vatican. This book holds a great amount of interesting information for those interested in Vatican secrets and mysteries, whether it's politics, history, art, literature, or architecture. With a veritable wellspring of information and plenty of gorgeous illustration, this text is a great choice for any reader interested in the Vatican and looking behind the veil of mystery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of the Vatican: Being a Brief History of the Palace, and an Account of the Principal Art Treasures Within Its Walls The same reasoning applies to the actual paintings and sculptures described in each gallery or chapel. It has been thought better to devote as much considera tion as possible to the most noted of the works rather than to speak more brie y of many. In this way it is hoped that the book may be valuable both for travellers, who wish to have something more than mere guide-book information of the great treasures of Rome, and for the amateur who has not sufficient time or desire to consult the many original works necessary for a thorough art training.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to See the Vatican But the word Vatican is familiar to travellers in another signification: that Of a place with museums of matchless sculpture; and a gallery of paintings, and a chapel whose paintings are yet more famous. This does not help them to understand the first signification. The number of English people who have visited the Vatican Collections without giving any thought beyond them to the Vatican is very great. This is excusable because there is no guide-book in English, and no adequate guide-book in any language, to the Vatican as a Palace. The reason is not hard to discover. In the days before the cataclysm of 1870, when Pius IX. Was on the Papal Throne reigning like an Augustus, the insatiable curiosity which characterises readers pampered by the gossip-loving periodicals of the twentieth century had not demanded what we call books 0/ travel, meaning books of sight-seeing, which are so popular now. And since 1870 the Vatican has been in mourning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IX. THE PINACOTECA Until after the peace of Tolentirto there was no real picture-gallery in the Vatican. When the treasures Napoleon had filched during his years of triumph were once more returned to the papal states, Pius VII. retained in Rome many of the paintings that before their pilgrimage to France had belonged to various churches and monasteries in Italy. The collection, compared with most of the picture-galleries of Europe, is small, and with a very few exceptions of minor importance. Among the exceptions, however, are some masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, one of them the work that for generations has been called the greatest picture in the world. Raphael's Transfiguration occupies, with his Madonna di Foligno and the St. Jerome of Domenichino, one of the four rooms of the Pinacoteca. The very last work achieved by the genius of Urbino, there is still doubt as to whether the Transfiguration was actually finished when Raphael died. Vasari states decidedly that it was, and that it was placed at the head of the painter's bier. At all events it is absolutely sure that Giulio Romano is responsible for parts of the picture. It is known that Raphael intended to paint this composition without any assistance. If he adhered to his determination, then Giulio merely finished what his master left incomplete. It is probable, however, that even in this case the young Urbinate found himself so pressed for time that he was obliged to fall back on his right-hand man, as Giulio had long since become. The subject of the picture was given to Raphael by the Cardinal de' Medici, for whom it was painted. Critics who have found fault with its double perspective, its two halves, etc., have apparently forgotten this fact. He was obliged to...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Popes From the Close of the Middle Ages, Vol. 36: Drawn From the Secret Archives of the Vatican and Other Original Sources At the time of Benedict XIV.'s election to the Papal throne Portugal was still feeling the effects of the conflict of 1728. The new Pope found that only the bishoprics of Lisbon and Leiria were occupied. Ossonoba-Faro-Silves had been left vacant since 1738, Braga and Elvas since 1728, Coimbra since 1718, Oporto since 1716, Evora since 1715. Benedict immediately hastened to put an end to this disgraceful state of affairs, no matter at what cost. New Bishops were presented to Ossonoba-Faro-Silves, Miranda-Braganza, and Portalegre on December 19th, 1740, to Evora on December 10th, to Lamego and Viseu on January 2nd, 1741, to Coimbra on February 12th, to Oporto on March 12th, to Braga and Guarda on November 26th, 1742. Whereas formerly in Papal edicts it was announced that the Pope was filling the vacant sees "at the request" of the king, Benedict XIV. allowed it to be announced henceforward as being done "on the presentation" of the king. In other ways too Benedict XIV. did all he could to win the good will of the Portuguese monarch. In Lisbon great value was laid on outward show and titles. To please the king the Patriarch of the metropolis had had his Canons clothed almost like Cardinals, and the Patriarch himself showed in his arms the Papal tiara with the two keys; to be protected against these false keys, suggested the French envoy, the locks in the gates of Paradise would have to be altered.
