Pilgrim'S Rome : A Blue Guide Travel Monograph, Paperback / softback Book

Pilgrim'S Rome : A Blue Guide Travel Monograph Paperback / softback

Part of the Blue Guide Travel Monograph series

Paperback / softback

Description

A guide to Rome's Christian monuments, explained and put into context by an examination of the history of pilgrimage, from its most ancient forms to more modern, even secular practice. Supplements a good guide book to Rome, ideal for anyone with a deeper interest in the beliefs and myths that have built the living city, for the Christian visitor or for the specialist.

Author Annabel Barber, editor-in-chief of the Blue Guides, wears her scholarship lightly, making this book as essential and accessible to the casual pilgrim as to the academic specialist. Also covers such practicalities as where to stay and eat, relevant websites, English-language services, opening times and so on, with appendices explaining indulgences, listing popes, quoting key prayers and given other useful background.

Pilgrim's Rome is part of our new Blue Guides Travel Monograph series, useful companions to supplement a good guide book and reach the parts not usually reached by the major series.
