Examine ten ancient baptismal fonts from Europe and North Africa to discover valuable lessons about the meaning of baptism for those responsible for designing and building fonts today.
This collection of essays by a group of European and North American scholars extends the traditional boundaries associated with the study of baptismal fonts. Previous scholarship about baptismal fonts has often focused on the purely stylistic, iconographical and liturgical perspectives, using primarily ecclesiastical and liturgical documentation. This book shows the wealth of new information that baptismal fonts can offer when scholars adopt interdisciplinary approaches and engage in readings that question traditional assumptions inherited in scholarship.
The photographs selected for this volume were personally taken by the author, and others are used by permission. There is very little available to English readers on the subject of early and medieval baptisteries and fonts. In some instances, archaeologists were interviewed who excavated and restored the sites. After completing research at the Bibliotecha Apostolica Vaticana in Rome and at the American Academy Library in Rome, the author planned the itinerary for visiting the sites. Listed in alphabetical order by city, the largest number of early baptismal basins is found in Italy with a sampling from other countries. The mysterious basin in the floor of Saint Peter's basilica in Rome and the first century pool near San Eustorgio in Milan, are notable examples that have not been described in English sources.
