Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to See the Vatican But the word Vatican is familiar to travellers in another signification: that Of a place with museums of matchless sculpture; and a gallery of paintings, and a chapel whose paintings are yet more famous. This does not help them to understand the first signification. The number of English people who have visited the Vatican Collections without giving any thought beyond them to the Vatican is very great. This is excusable because there is no guide-book in English, and no adequate guide-book in any language, to the Vatican as a Palace. The reason is not hard to discover. In the days before the cataclysm of 1870, when Pius IX. Was on the Papal Throne reigning like an Augustus, the insatiable curiosity which characterises readers pampered by the gossip-loving periodicals of the twentieth century had not demanded what we call books 0/ travel, meaning books of sight-seeing, which are so popular now. And since 1870 the Vatican has been in mourning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modernism and the Vatican Some three years ago the study on "Religious Life in Europe," of which a number of articles have appeared since regularly in the Northwestern Christian Advocate, first drew my attention to the present phase of difficulty within the Papal Church. Later Dr. James M. Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate (New York), published an extensive review written by the author on Dr. Josef Schnitzer's important work, "Did Christ Found the Papacy?" ("Hat Jesus das Papsttum gestiftet?") The extreme interest of the subject, then shown by many notable students in the comment upon the review, cast its spell upon me from the very first; and I resolved to make it a matter of more detailed study.

Download or read book The Vatican and Saint Peter s Basilica of Rome written by Paul Letarouilly and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French architect Paul Letarouilly (1795-1855), author of the masterpiece Edifices de Rome Moderne, was unequaled in his observational ability and impeccable drawing skills. He devoted many years of his life living in austerity and refusing paying commissions to compile and draw the intricate details and decorative elements of the most breathtaking buildings in Italy's Vatican City, including St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, the Pontifical Palace, the Museo Pio Clementino, and the Villa Pia. Published in 1882, after his death, Vatican served as an unparalleled sourcebook of everything from plans, elevations, interior room views, and perspective drawings to mosaics, wall panels, door frames, fountains, towers, domes, cornices, and moldings. Prior to the books original publication, these details were not easily replicated in other parts of the world. Vatican gave access to rigorous documentation of the work of some of the most significant Renaissance architects Michelangelo, Bernini, Bramante, Sangallo, and Peruzzi and is now often credited as one of the primary catalysts for the American Renaissance style, the results of which can be seen in any capital city in America. The precision and attention to detail that Letarouilly demanded of his engravers advanced the art of etching in the nineteenth century. Exquisite rendering techniques and precise execution make this book as beautiful as it is useful. Originally published in three volumes, Vatican is presented as a single facsimile edition in our Classic Reprints series and includes a new foreword by architectural historian Ingrid Rowland. Published in association with the Institute of Classical Architecture and Classical America.

Download or read book The Vatican Its History Its Treasures Classic Reprint written by Ernesto Begni and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vatican: Its History-Its Treasures by Ernesto Begni is an interesting look into the history, and lore of the Vatican, located just outside of Rome, Italy. An icon of the Catholic Church, the Vatican has been a symbol of both power and of mystery and provided thousands of years worth of controversy and conciliation. This book is an attempt to dispel some of those mysteries and offer the reader a rare glimpse into the majesty found within the walls of this hallowed institution. Begni's book begins an abridged version of the history of the Vatican and a brief general description of the sprawling Vatican palaces visible from miles around, after which is a summary of the Vatican palaces and gardens describing in intricate detail their majesty and design. The book also covers the various state apartments and chapels such as the Chapel of Nicholas, the Sistine Chapel, the Pauline Chapel, the Appartamento, the Stanze of Raphael, and the Loggie of Raphael; including a litany of historical facts and artifacts housed in each. The book also discusses the Vatican museums, collections, and the mosaic factory, including in-depth reviews of the New Picture Gallery, the Gallery of Tapestries, the Egyptian Museum, the Gregorian Etruscan Museum, the Museum of Sculpture and Ancient Paintings, the Gallery of Inscriptions, and the Christian Museum. Of course, treasures aren't only artistic or architectural, and Begni makes a point to explore the massive collections and library house at the Vatican, including the Numismatic collection, the Hall of the Geographical Charts, the Vatican Library and the Vatican Secret Archives. Finally, the book finishes with an in-depth discussion of the Vatican administration and influences of politics and religious shifts over the centuries. The Vatican: Its History-Its Treasures is a complete source for information on all things Vatican. This book holds a great amount of interesting information for those interested in Vatican secrets and mysteries, whether it's politics, history, art, literature, or architecture. With a veritable wellspring of information and plenty of gorgeous illustration, this text is a great choice for any reader interested in the Vatican and looking behind the veil of mystery.

Download or read book Eight Months at Rome During the Vatican Council written by Pomponio Leto and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eight Months at Rome During the Vatican Council: Impressions of a Contemporary The Memoirs of the Vatican Council which are here presented to the public, are the work of a sincere and liberal Roman Catholic, and are inspired by a genuine desire to promote the welfare of that religion. The book is marked by a spirit of frankness and modera tion, and there is abundant internal evidence to show that the writer had peculiar means and opportunities of closely observing the incidents which he depicts, and of recording them with accuracy. When to these recommendations it is added that the subject is one of universal and enduring interest, enough has been said to justify the attempt that is made to render the work accessible to the generality of English readers by this translation.

This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Peter in Rome and His Tomb on the Vatican Hill There IS little needed by way of Preface to the present volume. The author is aware that it might have been much better had his leisure been greater. There must be much valuable information lying forgotten in the Manuscripts of the various Libraries of Europe, and this is a field he has not been able to touch. The book has been the product of the leisure hours of a life already sufficiently full, as the life of any Catholic priest in England is almost bound to be. For this cause he would ask for a merciful treatment in the criticisms he cannot hope to escape, since he has felt obliged on so many points to run counter to the opinions which at present are generally held.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Vatican Library of Sixtus IV Before entering on the subject of this paper, I feel it necessary to make a short personal explanation. In the course of my work on Libraries, I naturally paid a good deal of attention to the splendid room which Sixtus V. constructed for the Vatican collection in 1588; and I often wondered whether it would be possible to find out anything about the libraries of his predecessors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Rome and Other Places: Epoch of the Vatican Council 1869-70 We reached the Eternal City toward the end of November, 1869. I left for home about the last days of April. During my stay of five months at the centre of Catholicity, 1 had ample opportunity - and under the most favorable auspices - to visit, time and again, the great monuments of ancient and modern Rome. My excursions were almost daily; and I enjoyed the rare privilege of such a companion as His Lordship, perfectly conversant with the City of the Popes. In my rambles, I noted down the more interesting objects, that they might be more vividly remembered On my return -to Canada, they were found instructive I was urged to put them into print. I hesitated, know ing how often, how graphically - and how much better than I could hope to do - these things had been described already.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Decrees of the Vatican Council Decrees of the Vatican Council we make no apology for calling it the best book and most valuable religious relic left to the twentieth century by the nineteenth. It is somewhat surprising that colleetions of the hundred best books, which usually begin with the Bible and generally include Marcus Aurelius, should give no place to the Acts of the General Councils; though mere literary works have done little beyond filling vacant hours, and these Acts have renewed the face of the earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of the Vatican: Being a Brief History of the Palace, and an Account of the Principal Art Treasures Within Its Walls The same reasoning applies to the actual paintings and sculptures described in each gallery or chapel. It has been thought better to devote as much considera tion as possible to the most noted of the works rather than to speak more briefly of many. In this way it is hoped that the book may be valuable both for travellers, who wish to have something more than mere guide-book information of the great treasures of Rome, and for the amateur who has not sufficient time or desire to consult the many original works necessary for a thorough art training.
