Corpus of Inscriptions in Santa Maria dell'Anima

Part 1: From the Middle Ages to 1559, Part 2: 1560 to 2025

A commented edition of 120 inscriptions from the Middle Ages to Early Modern Time (until the year 1559), this project publishes parts of the inscriptions of the church Santa Maria dell'Anima and the adjoining buildings of a former pilgrims' hospital which is now a priests' college. Furthermore, the appendix shows 15 antique inscriptions, which originated elsewhere and were mounted in the college’s inner courtyard in the middle of the 1870s.

Part 1: From the Middle Ages to 1559
The present catalogue comprises both original inscriptions and those passed on in copy, which were either sourced on location, or in archives and libraries.
