Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saints in Art We must remember that the saints who had died for their faith in Christ were brought close to the people through oral tradition and legendary chronicles at a period when Christians - with the exception of the very learned - had not the Gospel to study, and could scarcely realise a nearness to Him, concerning whose nature they were hopelessly puz zled by the wrangling of the schoolmen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Saints in Art: With Their Attributes and Symbols Alphabetically Arranged This little book is intended to meet the demand of the ever-increasing number of visitors of the churches and picture galleries, at home and abroad, who, with little knowledge of Christian hagiology, or the ecclesiastical history of the Middle Ages, wish to know more of the subjects represented in the works of art they see than is given in ordinary catalogues and guide-books. Many of the incidents frequently depicted, and many of the attributes given to the saints, are, for want of knowledge of the legends to which reference is made, to some extent unintelligible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arts of the Church: Symbolism of the Saints For the understanding of almost all branches of ecclesiastical art, painting, sculpture in stone or wood, and the archi tecture of various ages. It is shown on the walls Of churches, fonts, screens, miseri cords, carvings, pictures by great mediaeval artists, and enters largely into the sacred art of all countries. It has, therefore, been deemed advisable to include the subject of Iconography in this series of the Arts Of the Church. The writer has endeavoured to record the symbols Of those saints whose figures appear most frequently in churches and in works of Sacred Art, and to give such brief accounts of their lives and legends as may account for the selection Of their symbols. The very limited space at his disposal has, Of course, prevented any full treatment of the subject; but the reader will probably find this book, especially the indexes, sufficient to enable ihim to recognize the identity of the figures (prefac.

Download or read book A Garner of Saints written by Allen Hinds and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Garner of Saints: Being a Collection of the Legends and Emblems Usually Represented in Art When the story they represent is made known. Of the legends themselves, they belong to many periods, but taken as a whole they may be said to represent the ideas and aspirations of mediaeval Christianity. When the vast majority of men could neither read nor write, the churches they frequented contained in their storied walls and windows the body of their religious teaching in perhaps its most vivid form. This is an oft-treated subject and one into which it is unnecessary to enter here. If this volume serves to create new interest in the minds of those devoted to art, it will have fully answered its purpose.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Christian Symbols and Stories of the Saints: As Illustrated in Art That some of the miracles attributed to the saints should have been merely fabled, need not startle nor scandalize even the Catholic reader, nor excite prejudice against the great mass which rest on evidence at least as firm as that on which we ao cept the records of profane history; for, to quote again from the above-named eminent authority, it as little derogates from the supernatural gift residing in the Church that miracles should have been fabricated or exaggerated, as it prejudices her holiness that within her pale good men are mixed with bad.
