Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical study of papal tombs in Rome. The author, an illustrious citizen of Rome, has sought to create a survey of the monuments left behind by the deceased popes, seeing in these tombs a vivid portrayal of the history of the papacy itself. The study begins with the tombs found in the catacombs and proceeds to the tombs of the 4th century and beyond. There is a particular focus on papal tombs constructed from the 9th to the 15th centuries. The work also provides an overview of papal iconography from the early Christian era to the Renaissance, making it a useful resource for scholars and art historians alike. Papal tombs, the author argues, are not only monuments to the dead but also emblems of the evolution of the papacy itself, and through them, we can better understand the history of the Catholic Church and its role in Western Civilization.
