Halaman 7 - The sacrilegious curiosity of the French broke through all obstacles to their seeing the CHAIR of St. Peter. They actually removed its superb casket, and discovered the Relic. Upon its mouldering and dusty surface were traced carvings, which bore the appearance of letters. The Chair was quickly brought into better light, the dust and cobwebs removed, and the inscription (for an inscription it was) faithfully copied.
Halaman 7 - It is supposed that this chair had been, among the spoils of the crusaders, offered to the church at a time when a taste for antiquarian lore, and the deciphering of inscriptions, were not yet in fashion. This story has been since hushed up, the chair replaced, and none but the unhallowed remember the fact, and none but the audacious repeat it. Yet such there are, even at Rome !
Halaman 9 - The shrine is in the form of a throne, and contains a chair, which the Prince of the Apostles is supposed to have occupied, as Bishop of Rome. It is a tradition, certainly of great antiquity that St. Peter was received into the house of the senator Pudens, and there laid the foundation of the Roman Church.* According to the custom of the ; See the Acts of S.
Halaman 12 - ... Above the cornice, which these support, rises a triangular pediment, giving to the whole a tasteful and architectural appearance. Besides the bassi-relievi above mentioned, the rest of the front, the mouldings of the back, and 'the tympanum of the pediment are all covered with beautifullywrought ivory. The chair, therefore, is manifestly of Roman workmanship — a curule chair, such as might be occupied by the head of the church, adorned with ivory and gold, as might befit the house of a wealthy...
Halaman 13 - Martial mention the practice of being borne in chairs. This was done by means of rings placed at their sides, through which poles were passed, and thus the chair was carried by slaves upon their shoulders. At each side of St. Peter's chair are two rings, manifestly intended for this purpose. Thus, while the workmanship of this venerable relic necessarily refers its date to an early period of the Roman empire, this peculiarity fixes it at a period not earlier than the reign of Claudius, in which St....
Halaman 11 - ... posts, three little arches. The front is extremely rich, being divided into eighteen small compartments, disposed in three rows. Each contains a basso-relievo in ivory, of the most exquisite finish, surrounded by ornaments of the purest gold. These bassi-relievi represent, not the feats of Mohammed, as the readers of Lady Morgan might expect, unless they knew that the religion of the prophet does not tolerate any graven images at all, but the exploits of the monster-killing Hercules. The back...
Halaman 10 - It is of wood, almost entirely covered with ivory, so as to be justly considered a curule chair. It may be divided into two principal parts : the square or cubic portion, which forms the body ; and the upright elevation behind, which forms the back. The former portion is four Roman palms in breadth across the front, two and a half at the side, and three and a half in height. It is formed by four upright posts, united together by transverse bars above and below. The sides are filled up by a species...
Halaman 13 - C. i. cap. 19. means of rings placed at their sides, through which poles were passed; and thus the chair was carried by slaves upon their shoulders. At each side of St. Peter's chair are two rings, manifestly intended for this purpose. Thus, while the workmanship of this venerable relic necessarily refers its date to an early period of the Roman empire, this peculiarity fixes it at a period, not earlier than the reign of Claudius, in which St. Peter arrived at Rome.
Halaman 11 - Morgan might expect, unless they knew that the religion of the prophet does not tolerate anygraven images at all, but the exploits of the monster-killing Hercules. The back of the chair is formed by a series of pilasters supporting arches, as at the sides ; the pillars here are three in number, and the arches four. Above the cornice, which these support, rises a triangular pediment, giving to the whole a tasteful and architectural appearance. Besides the bassi-relievi...
Halaman 12 - Lipsius has well proved, sel/a gestatorice began to be used by men of rank in Rome ; for it is after this period that Suetonius, Seneca, Tacitus, Juvenal, and Martial mention the practice of being borne in chairs. This was done by means of rings placed at their sides, through which poles were passed, and thus the chair was carried by slaves upon their shoulders. At each side of St. Peter's chair are two rings, manifestly intended for this purpose. Thus, while the workmanship of this venerable relic...
