The Testimony Of The Catacombs And Of Other Monuments Of Christian Art: From The Second To The Eighteenth Century is a historical book written by Wharton Booth Marriott and originally published in 1870. The book explores the various monuments and artifacts of Christian art that were created between the second and eighteenth centuries.The catacombs, which are underground burial places used by early Christians, are a major focus of the book. Marriott examines the various symbols and inscriptions found in the catacombs, and uses them to piece together a picture of early Christian beliefs and practices.In addition to the catacombs, Marriott also examines other forms of Christian art, including mosaics, frescoes, and sculptures. He discusses the symbolism and meaning behind these works, and how they reflect the beliefs and values of the Christian communities that created them.Throughout the book, Marriott emphasizes the importance of these monuments and artifacts as historical sources. He argues that they provide valuable insights into the beliefs, practices, and daily lives of early Christians, and can help us better understand the development of Christianity as a religion.Overall, The Testimony Of The Catacombs And Of Other Monuments Of Christian Art is a fascinating exploration of the art and artifacts of early Christianity. It provides a valuable glimpse into the beliefs and practices of early Christians, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity or the development of religious art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
