Abstract: Una recente ricerca condotta da Barbara Mazzei e Saverio&#xD;
Ceravolo nella 'regione dei fornai' delle catacombe di Domitilla, ha&#xD;
riportato l'attenzione della comunita scientifica sul grande numero di&#xD;
visite che, a partire dagli anni finali del XVI secolo, si susseguirono nei&#xD;
labirintici meandri dei cimiteri sotterranei della campagna romana da&#xD;
parte di intrepidi pionieri dell' archeologia cristiana, eruditi antiquari&#xD;
o semplici curiosi appassionati di antichità romane. In particolare,&#xD;
i due studiosi si sono soffermati a riflettere, sviluppando ricerche&#xD;
gia' condotte a partire dal XIX secolo, sull'impressionante numero&#xD;
di firme - oltre millequattrocento - che i visitatori tracciarono a più&#xD;
riprese, e con diverse modalità scrittorie, sulle pareti del cimitero della&#xD;
via Ardeatina.</summary>

Abstract: La giustizia episcopale conobbe uno sviluppo impetuoso dopo&#xD;
ii Concilio di Trento, in linea con ii suo programma di disciplinamento&#xD;
del clero.  Sebbene i tribunali vescovili fossero attivi gia in precedenza&#xD;
nella persecuzione di taluni reati, l'attivita correzionale dei fori diocesani&#xD;
crebbe vertiginosamente nei decenni del secondo Cinquecento.</summary>

Authors: Belter, Joshua
Abstract: It is always difficult to discuss beauty in an objective manner,&#xD;
because an appreciation of beauty is subjective, differing according&#xD;
to individual tastes and experiences. However, we can observe that&#xD;
because Venneer and his admirers were predominately Christian, their&#xD;
definition of beauty was in accordance with what the Bible has stated&#xD;
on the subject. Therefore, beauty, as with all things which are good,&#xD;
emanates from God,  as well as being desirable, for God is good and thus&#xD;
desirable as taught by Aquinas. Moreover, God's creation is created in&#xD;
a beautiful manner, and indeed physical beauty is sanctioned by God,&#xD;
but unfading beauty is that which submits itself to God and His will,&#xD;
for only when something is in accordance with God's standard is it truly&#xD;
beautiful. By this criteria, Vermeer's Woman Holding a Balance can be&#xD;
deemed beautiful both because it is visually pleasing and because its&#xD;
theological statements speak of God and His divine works.</summary>
