Download or read book Rome of the Pilgrims and Martyrs written by Ethel Ross Barker and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rome of the Pilgrims and Martyrs: A Study in the Martyrologies, Itineraries, Syllogae,& Other Contemporary Documents There is further, in the introductory chapters, a description, derived from contemporary sources, of the pilgrimages to Rome in the early ages; and in the last chapters, an indication of the method of applying the documentary evidence to the identification of the monuments as revealed by the excavations, which are now in progress day by day in the catacombs. While some of these documents are mainly topographical, others are only incidentally so. These latter have been described in all their aspects, so that each document may be judged as a whole. Each section of the book, therefore, is complete in itself within the prescribed period. There are many chapters here which do but present the results of the recent researches of scholars in their respective branches - of Duchesne and De Rossi; of Delehaye, Harnack, and Leclercq; of Marucchi, Wilpert, and many others; and there is scarcely a line which does not owe something to these great specialists who have, one and all, dealt with questions of historical fact in a spirit of scientific criticism. It is hoped the book may interest the general reader, for whose benefit a large number of translations from the originals have been made. These are as literal as possible, and shortcomings in matter and form are, sometimes at least, faithful reflections of the Latin. In quoting the Latin itself, the curious spellings, so characteristic of the documents, have generally been preserved. The student too may perhaps find some help in it; especially in the bibliography, appendices, and footnotes, which form an introduction to more specialized study in these or kindred subjects. Documents so different in character have each required a different method of treatment. In some the human interest prevails: others seem but to furnish a theme for topographical and literary disquisition. Yet even the latter are in touch with life.

Download or read book Roman Pilgrimage written by George Weigel and published by Constellation. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The annual Lenten pilgrimage to dozens of Rome’s most striking churches is a sacred tradition dating back almost two millennia, to the earliest days of Christianity. Along this historic spiritual pathway, today’s pilgrims confront the mysteries of the Christian faith through a program of biblical and early Christian readings amplified by some of the greatest art and architecture of western civilization. In Roman Pilgrimage, bestselling theologian and papal biographer George Weigel, art historian Elizabeth Lev, and photographer Stephen Weigel lead readers through this unique religious and aesthetic journey with magnificent photographs and revealing commentaries on the pilgrimage’s liturgies, art, and architecture. Through reflections on each day’s readings about faith and doubt, heroism and weakness, self-examination and conversion, sin and grace, Rome’s familiar sites take on a new resonance. And along that same historical path, typically unexplored treasures—artifacts of ancient history and hidden artistic wonders—appear in their original luster, revealing new dimensions of one of the world’s most intriguing and multi-layered cities. A compelling guide to the Eternal City, the Lenten Season, and the itinerary of conversion that is Christian life throughout the year, Roman Pilgrimage reminds readers that the imitation of Christ through faith, hope, and love is the template of all true discipleship, as the exquisite beauty of the Roman station churches invites reflection on the deepest truths of Christianity.
Download or read book Pilgrimage to Rome in the Middle Ages written by Debra Julie Birch and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 1998 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rome was one of the major pilgrim destinations in the middle ages. The belief that certain objects and places were a focus of holiness where pilgrims could come closer to God had a long history in Christian tradition; in the case of Rome, the tradition developed around two of the city's most important martyrs, Christ's apostles Peter and Paul. So strong were the city's associations with these apostles that pilgrimage to Rome was often referred to as pilgrimage t̀o the threshold of the apostles'. Debra Birch conveys a vivid picture of the world of the medieval pilgrim to Rome - the Romipetae, or R̀ome-seekers' - covering all aspects of their journey, and their life in the city itself. --Back cover.
Download or read book Martyrdom and Rome written by G. W. Bowersock and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-10-03 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the historical context of the earliest Christian martyrs, and anchors their grisly and often wilful self-sacrifice to the everyday life and outlook of the cities of the Roman empire. Professor Bowersock begins by investigating both the time and the region in which martyrdom, as we know it, came into being. He also offers comparisons of the Graeco-Roman background with the martyrology of Jews and Muslims. A study of official protocols illuminates the bureaucratic institutions of the Roman state as they applied to the first martyrs; and the martyrdoms themselves are seen within the context of urban life (and public spectacle) in the great imperial cities. By considering martyrdom in relation to suicide, the author is also able to demonstrate the peculiarly Roman character of Christian self-sacrifice in relation to other forms of deadly resistance to authority.
Download or read book The Roman Martyrs written by Michael Lapidge and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman Martyrs contains translations of forty Latin passiones of saints who were martyred in Rome or its near environs, during the period before the 'peace of the Church' (c. 312). Some of the Roman martyrs are universally known-SS. Agnes, Sebastian or Laurence, for example-but others are scarcely recognized outside the ecclesiastical landscape of Rome itself. Each of the translated passiones is accompanied by an individual introduction and commentary; the translations are preceded by an Introduction which describes the principal features of this little-known genre of Christian literature, and are followed by five Appendices which present translated texts which are essential for understanding the cult of Roman martyrs. This volume offers the first collection of the Roman passiones martyrum translated into a modern language. They were mostly composed during the period 425-675, by anonymous authors who were presumably clerics of the Roman churches or cemeteries which housed the martyrs' remains. It is clear that they were composed in response to the explosion of pilgrim traffic to martyrial shrines from the late fourth century onwards, at a time when authentic records (protocols) of their trials and executions had long since vanished, and the authors of the passiones were obliged to imagine the circumstances in which martyrs were tried and executed. The passiones are works of fiction; and because they abound in ludicrous errors of chronology, they have been largely ignored by historians of the early Church. Although they cannot be used as evidence for the original martyrdoms, they nevertheless allow a fascinating glimpse of the concerns which animated Christians during the period in question: for example, the preservation of virginity, or the ever-present threat posed by pagan practices. As certain aspects of Roman life will have changed little between the second century and the fifth, the passiones shed valuable light on many aspects of Roman society, not least the nature of a trial before an urban prefect, and the horrendous tortures which were a central feature of such trials. The passiones are an indispensable resource for understanding the topography of late antique Rome and its environs, as they characteristically contain detailed reference to the places where the martyrs were tried, executed, and buried.
