Elementos de archeologia e iconograpia Christã

Sousa Monteiro, Antonio Xavier de · 1887 · Coimbra : Imprensa da Universidade · 35 pictures

An 1887 Portuguese archaeology and Christian iconography handbook published by the Imprensa da Universidade in Coimbra, written by Antonio Xavier de Sousa Monteiro for students and scholars of church buildings and sacred objects. Its pictures are plain black-and-white line engravings of a ciborium-like canopy with cross-marked doors, a chalice-shaped reliquary, a stone church gable with a round-arched doorway, and a Renaissance church portal, useful to designers wanting simple, schematic historical architectural forms.
