Old Rome was I Now New Rome Shall Be Praised: Christianity and Classical Culture in the Roman Guidebook Tradition Pubblico Deposited

Abstract
  • This thesis examines the relationship between classical culture and Christianity in Rome through the lens of medieval, Renaissance, and Counter Reformation guidebooks. I propose that guidebooks allowed authors and patrons to project a carefully constructed image of Rome, a construction influenced by the Church’s desire to authenticate its place in Europe by defining itself in relation to classical culture.
