Synopsis

""The Catacombs of Rome: As Illustrating the Church of the First Three Centuries"" is a historical and archaeological exploration of the catacombs of Rome, which were used as burial sites by early Christians. Written by William Ingraham Kip, an American bishop and author, the book provides a detailed account of the catacombs and their significance in understanding the early Christian Church. Kip examines the inscriptions, symbols, and artwork found in the catacombs and interprets them in the context of early Christian beliefs and practices. He also discusses the historical and cultural context of the catacombs, including the persecution of Christians by the Roman Empire. The book is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the ancient world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Vatican is the name of an irregular mass of buildings at Rome, connected, at one extremity, with the magnificent cathedral of St. Peter s. The name is derived from that of the hill on which it stands; a name given to it by the old Romans on account of the vaticinations or divinations of theE truscan andR oman vates or soothsayers, who made it the place of their fraudulent juggleries, and hence it is called the Vatican Hill.
