- Abstract :
- Discusses the development of antiquarianism and how material culture began to be used to augment texts as evidence of antiquity in 15th-c. Rome. Cites evidence from guidebooks, topographical surveys, and texts which collected the main ancient works of art and classical sites. Argues that scholars in the curia studied and interpreted the remains of early Christian as well as pagan Rome, and considers the effect of the Counter-Reformation on these studies. Also discusses the Egyptian obelisks reconstructed in Renaissance Rome. ;
