Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rambler, Vol. 2 There was a long article on the Roman Catacombs in the Edinburgh Review of January last, in which the writer, after showing the supreme importance and interest of the Christian monuments of subterranean Home to all students of the history of the first centuries of the Church, and after declaring that many of their memorials are contemporary records of primitive Christianity, of men who lived in and near the Apostolic age, and who have left us, in the architecture and ornaments of the Catacombs, the type of the Christian Church, and the germ of Christian art, - then complains that these memorials had been necessarily regarded with great suspicion by writers not Catholic, because they were the sources of so many of the legendary fables of Popery. Now, however, after the honest labours of such men as Bosio, Father Marchi, Father Garucci, and, above all, of the Cavaliere de´ Rossi, the time, he says, seems to have come "to bring back the study of the early Christian memorials to a true standard of accurate research," and "to establish their real value and importance on the grounds of science and history alone." The reviewer, it will be seen, lays the blame of all their ill name on Catholic writers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
