The Gregorian University YouTube channel offers four English-language lectures from the conference ‘Unity and Unicity’ in March 2024:
Dr Chiara Cecalupo, Professor of Museology at the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology in Rome, will speak on the subject of ‘The fascination of the catacombs in 19th/20th century European Catholicism’.
Start: 6 pm
Location: Aula Pope Benedict XVI (Campo Santo Teutonico)
For participation via Zoom please contact
The originally planned lecture by Sible de Blaauw will take place at a later date.
Dr Matthias Simperl from Augsburg was instrumental in organising the conference on the so-called ‘Chronograph of 354’, a late antique composite manuscript produced in Rome. The conference was characterised by lively debates and produced a whole series of fundamentally new insights. Simperl talks about this in an interview:
Stefan Rebenich, Professor of Ancient History in Bern, will speak on the topic ‘’A richly illustrated calendar‘ - The chronograph of the year 354 in the scholarly debates of the 19th century" (in German). The Chronograph of 354 is a composite manuscript containing extraordinarily important texts from the 4th century that shed light on the history of Rome in pagan-Christian times.
The art historian Prof Dr Christian Hecht will speak on the subject of "The art decoration of the Sistine Chapel and its liturgical function".
He has some spectacular insights to share.
Beginning: 18
Location: Aula Pope Benedict XVI (Campo Santo Teutonico)
