Roma Sotterranea: Or an Account of the Roman Catacombs; Especially of the Cemetery of St. Callixtus (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Roma Sotterranea: Or an Account of the Roman Catacombs; Especially of the Cemetery of St. Callixtus
The task which we have undertaken is now accomplished. \ve have placed within the reach of English readers as complete an account of the Roman Catacombs and their contents, more especially of the Catacomb of St. Callixtus, as we have been able to collect from the works of Com mendatore De Rossi. The present Part treats of ancient Christian art, on which it gives far more abundant infor mation than has ever before appeared in the English lan guage. This subject occupied only 130 pages, and was illustrated by 25 engravings, in our first edition. In the present edition it fills 360 pages, and receives more than 120 illustrations. The additional matter is, in the main, a mere record of facts. Future authors may combine, compare, and generalise these facts afresh, but it was first necessary that they should be collected. And we have spared no pains to make our collection as complete as possible, and to give our readers as fair an idea as we can of the originals.
