Giovanni Ciamini’s “De Sacris Aedificiis” is a rare, 17^th-century history of ancient churches built by Emperor Constantine. Ciampini focuses on the buildings themselves rather than the religious implications of the church. It contains descriptions on some of the most famous Catholic cathedrals in the world including Lateran Basilica, St Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican, St Lawrence Cathedral in Genoa, and many others. Ciampini includes impressive illustrations of the cathedrals and their mosaics, as well as notes on other remarkable churches around the world such as those in Ravenna and Jerusalem.
