Excerpt from Epitaphs of the Catacombs: Or Christian Inscriptions in Rome During the First Four Centuries We have now a second edition of our Roma Sotterranea nearly ready, and the question necessarily arose whether the inscriptions should be again omitted. Nearly ten years have elapsed, and De Rossi's second volume has not appeared.

In the present volume, however, I have trusted more to De Rossi's printed copies than to my own mss. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
