The Catacombs of Rome, and Their Testimony Relative to Primitive Christianity
Withrow, W. H. (William Henry)
Catacombs -- Italy -- Rome; Church history -- Primitive and early church, ca. 30-600
[290] Among the smaller treatises on the Catacombs, and separate
articles in the encyclopædias and journals of higher literature,
may be mentioned the following, most of which have been consulted
in the preparation of these pages: Remusat, _Musée Chrétien de
Rome_; _Revue des Deux Mondes_, Juin 15, 1863; _Revue
Chrétienne_, Mai, 1864; Jehan, _Dict. des Origin. du Christ._,
pp. 212, 89; Martigny, _Dict. des Antiq. Chrét._, p. 106; Bouix,
_Théologie des Catacombes_, Arras, 1864; Piper, _Mythologie und
Symbolik der Christlichen Kunst_, Weimar, pp. 184, 51, and _Die
Graben Schriften der Altenten Christen_ in _Evang. Kallendar_
1855, p. 27, 1827, p. 37; _Edin. Rev._, January, 1859, and July,
1864; _Contemp. Rev._, September, 1866, and May, 1872;
_Monumental Theology_, by Prof. Bennett, in _Meth. Quar. Rev._,
January and April, 1871; M’Clintock and Strong, _Cyclopædia_, _in
verbo_. In the _History of Sacred Art in Italy_, by C. L. Hemans,
son of the poetess, are two interesting chapters on the
Catacombs, and valuable notes of ancient art, _passim_. Seymour’s
_Mornings with the Jesuits_ has some interesting paragraphs on
this subject, as has also Prof. Silliman’s _Visit to Europe_. The
Rev. Wm. Arthur, M.A., has an able Exeter Hall lecture on the
Catacombs. In Murray’s _Hand-Book of Rome_, ed. of 1867, is some
interesting information on this topic. In _Harper’s Mag._, April,
1865, is a popular article by Prof. Greene, U. S. Consul at Rome.
In Schaff’s _Ch. Hist._, 1, § 93; _Killen’s Anc. Ch._, pp.
348-351; Stanley’s _Eastern Churches_, and Milman, _passim_, are
interesting references to the subject. In Westcrop’s _Hand-Book
of Archæology_, London, 1867, and in the _Dict. Épig.
Chrétienne_, Paris, 1852, are valuable contributions on the
epigraphy of the Catacombs. Didron’s _Iconographie Chrétienne_,
Paris, 1841; Lord Lindsay’s _Hist. of Art_, London, 1847; Lübke’s
_History of Art_, London, 1869; Mrs. Jameson’s _Sacred Art_,
Tyrwhitt’s _Christian Art and Symbolism_, and Hare’s _Walks About
Rome_, have also been laid under contribution.
