Bilder aus der Geschichte der altchristlichen Kunst und liturgie in Italien
A survey of early Christian art and liturgy in Italy by the Jesuit art historian Stephan Beissel, published in Freiburg im Breisgau by Herder in 1899 for German-speaking scholars and clergy. Line engravings copy catacomb frescoes, apse mosaics, sarcophagus reliefs and carved ivories, offering flat outline drawings of haloed saints, orant figures, enthroned Christ and looping border ornament.
