Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Epitaphs of the Catacombs: Or Christian Inscriptions in Rome During the First Four Centuries When Mr. Brownlow and myself published our work on the Roman Catacombs in 1869, we apologised for the omission of all that concerned their inscriptions. We said that justice could not be done to this important branch of the subject until the second volume of De Rossi´s "Inscriptiones Christianæ" should have been published. At the same time it was intimated that a volume was already in course of preparation, which was intended to introduce to the English reading public the principal results of his labours in the field of Christian epigraphy. We have now a second edition of our "Roma Sotterranea" nearly ready, and the question necessarily arose whether the inscriptions should be again omitted. Nearly ten years have elapsed, and De Rossi´s second volume has not appeared. On the other hand, it was found that the materials already collected were abundantly sufficient to fill a volume, and to give (it is believed) a very fair idea of the whole subject. I began to make a collection of Christian inscriptions in Rome in 1848, copying them both from books and from the stones themselves.
