"The author of 'Rome et ses Vieilles Eglises,' from which this book is translated, had the gift of presenting profound scholarship in a way that can be enjoyed by the laymen. His writing synthesises in a manner both fresh and rare the points of view of the historian and the authority on art. These studies, the fruit of fourteen years' residence in Rome, deal with all the more interesting early Christian and medieval churches of the city in roughly chronological sequence from the first to the thirteenth centuries." -- DJ.
