Paris Catacombs Inscriptions - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Beneath the streets of Paris lay a vast system of catacombs which contain the remains of the dead from numerous cemeteries that used to be above ground. These have been here for centuries. Plaques and other markers have been placed over the tombs of the dead inscribed with poetic verses from both famous and little known authors. This rare book has resurrected these writings of beauty and death and life from the detailed work done by Cohn and Bodian in 1948. The verses are in Latin, French, ancient Greek and German - all have been translated into English. All versions are in this book.
