Tuker, Malleson. Handbook to Christian and Ecclesiastical Rome. 1900.

HANDBOOK TO CHRISTIAN

AND

ECCLESIASTICAL ROME

BY

M. A. R. TUKER

AND

HOPE MALLESON

LONDON
ADAM AND CHARLES BLACK
1900

PART I. THE CRISTIAN MONUMENTS OF ROME
PART II. THE LITURGY IN ROME
PART III. MONASTICISM IN ROME
PART IV. ECCLESIASTICAL ROME

PREFACE.

This Handbook is intended to give the visitor to Rome full information about the Christian side of its history, about Roman churches, ceremonies, and customs, which does not fall within the scope of such an excellent Handbook as that of Messrs. Murray’s general Guide.

It was to have formed one volume, but the matter gradually exceeded all limits ; and it is now hoped that this little series of books (of which the present is much the largest) may prove as convenient, dealing as each volume will do, with a subject complete in itself.

We cannot hope that among so much detail we have been able to avoid all error ; nor that we have always made the same choice as all our readers would have done, as to what pieces of information to give, and what to reluctantly withhold. When a choice has had to be made, we have elected to tell what is less generally known.

There’ remains only the pleasure of recalling the many kindnesses we have received, and of taking this opportunity of thanking all who have helped us with information, or by suggesting books.

Our gratitude is specially due to Monsignor J, A. Campbell, Rector of the Scotch College in Rome, for unwearied helpfulness, and readiness in answering an infinity of questions, and for the courtesy of placing his library at our disposal : and for the kind help given us by Padre Semeria, Barnabite.

For the archaeological portion of this handbook we are much indebted to conferences held on the spot by the late Commendatore G.-B. De Rossi, and by his pupil Professor Orazio Marucchi. And we desire also to thank Professor Barnabei and the Ministry of Public Instruction in Rome for facilities courteously afforded us.

Dhorme. Notice sur la vie et les travaux de M. l’abbé Jean-Baptiste Chabot, membre de l’Académie. 1952.

SUR LA VIE ET LES TRAVAUX

DE

M. L’ABBÉ JEAN-BAPTISTE CHABOT

MEMBRE DE L’ACADÉMIE

PAR

M. ÉDOUARD DHORME

MEMBRE DE L’ACADÉMIE

Je ne doute pas, Messieurs, que le jour où vous m’avez appelé à l’honneur de succéder au regretté Jean-Baptiste Chabot, vous n’ayez cédé au désir de remplacer un orientaliste par un orientaliste et plus spécialement un sémitisant par un sémitisant. Nos études n’ont pourtant pas été confinées dans un domaine identique. Jean-Baptiste Chabot s’est attaché plus particulièrement au syriaque, à l’araméen, au phénicien, au libyque. J’ai été voué à l’hébreu, d’une part, à l’assyro-babylonien, d’autre part. Mais il n’existe pas de cloison étanche entre les langues sémitiques et l’on ne peut s’occuper de l’une sans entendre le son des autres. Il faut reconnaitre aussi que, pour mon prédécesseur, comme pour moi-même, c’est la Bible hébraïque, cette mère de l’orientalisme dans les églises occidentales, qui a guidé nos premiers pas sur les chemins de la philologie sémitique et de la linguistique orientale. Il est vrai que Jean-Baptiste Chabot, pour des raisons qu’il est facile de deviner, s’éloigna très vite du terrain dangereux de l’exégèse scientifique. Il préféra s’adonner à des recherches de tout repos du côté doctrinal. Et c’est à peine si nous pouvons connaître son attitude vis-à-vis des questions controversées entre théologiens par cette phrase que je relève dans une notice consacrée à Silvestre de Sacy, pour le centenaire de sa mort, en 1938 : ” Il semble bien que ce soit à l’école de Richard Simon qu’il (Silvestre de Sacy) ait puisé les sages principes de ce qu’on pourrait appeler son libéralisme biblique “1. De toute façon, je ne sortirai pas de mon horizon familier, en m’efforçant de retracer devant vous non point la vie et les vertus, comme on dit en style hagiographique, mais simplement la vie et les travaux de celui que vous appeliez communément l’abbé Chabot, titre sous lequel il passera à l’immortalité académique.
