A Manual of Christian Archeology

A Manual of Christian Archaeology, written by Orazio Marucchi, is a comprehensive guide to the archaeology of Christianity. The book covers the history of Christian archaeology, from its beginnings in the early Church to the present day, and provides an in-depth look at the various artifacts and structures that have been discovered throughout the centuries. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the history of Christian archaeology and the second part delving into the specific artifacts and structures that have been found. The first part of the book covers topics such as the origins of Christian archaeology, the role of the Church in archaeological research, and the various methods used to uncover and study Christian artifacts. The second part of the book is broken down into chapters that cover different types of Christian artifacts and structures, such as churches, catacombs, inscriptions, and icons. Each chapter provides detailed information on the history and significance of the artifact or structure, as well as illustrations and photographs to help readers visualize what they look like. Throughout the book, Marucchi provides a wealth of information and insights into the world of Christian archaeology, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history of Christianity.1935.
