Summary:

"This book offers new insights into the history of Rome's Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano through the perspective of curial ceremony. It traces the probable contribution by the eminent Oratorian and cardinal, Cesare Baronio, in designing a sophisticated iconographic program for the transept inside this prominent Roman church edifice during Clement VIII's (Aldobrandini's) pontificate. Moreover, the book provides the first full reconstruction of the history and curial interventions at the ancient Constantinian Patriarchum Lateranensis during the second half of the 16th century on the basis of hitherto unknown documents from Roman and other Italian archives and libraries"-- De Gruyter Brill
