Praxede originated in a confusion between the name of that church and the church of Sta. Prudentiana. 4. Christian altars are distinctly spoken of in St. Ignat., Ep. ad Ephes.' and Ep. ad Philadelph.'; in Origen, Hom. ii., 'In Num.'; Tertullian, De Orat.,' cap. x.; St. Cyprian, Ep. 40, 42; and St. Firmilian, 'Ep. ad Cypr.' But some quote Minucius Felix, Origen, and Arnobius on the other side, as though (and the words are sublime) "Deus in nostrâ dedicandus est mente, in nostro consecrandus est pectore." 5.

Anastasius Bibliothecarius, in his gaffe," 394-Tours Cathedral-" The one" and "the other " Pontificale (in "Life of St. Hilary"), notes a silver altar weighing 40 lb. Tb., in "Life of St. Sylvester," it is stated that Constantine erected in the Lateran Basilica an altar "argento et auro clusum cum gemmis prasinis [i. e., emeralds probably] et hyacinthinis et albis 210 ornatum undique pensans libras 350." Ib., in the Basilica of St. Lawrence, "In Agro Verano," was an altar of purest silver, weighing 200 lb., and a similar one in the Basilica of SS. Peter and Marcellinus. Ib., in "Life of Sixtus III.," Anastasius says that that Pontiff gave to the Liberian Basilica an altar of the purest silver, weighing 300 lb., and also an altar and confessionary of St. Lawrence of the finest silver. the "Life of St. Sylvester" Constantine is said to have given to the Church of the Holy Cross in Rome a golden altar, weighing 250 lb. But in the Archbishop of Bologna's book, 'De Sacrifio Missæ' (and the famous writer was afterwards a Pope), it is conjectured (and Gattico agrees with him) that these altars were merely plated with gold or silver lamina. One of these cases Anastasius records specifically : Notes. GATTICO OF NOVARA ON ALTARS. John Baptist Gattico, of Novara, a canon regular of the Lateran Church, in his folio Prospectus Opusculi de Usu Altaris Portatilis,' Romæ, 1770, added to which is a tract 'De Oratoriis Domesticis,' gives many valuable particulars as to altars in whole or part made of precious metals. Their origin was, as will be seen, Byzantine. 1. St. Ambrose is said to have celebrated the blessed sacrament privately in the house of a Roman lady: "S. Ambrosius in domo matronæ Romæ celebravit," this reference being given in the index as p. 262 of 'De Or. Dom.'; but, though the statement is in the tract, the number of the page is, I think, wrongly given in the index. 2. De Usu Alt. Port.,' cap. i. sec. iv. p. 348. Hebrews xiii. 10, "We have an altar," is generally interpreted as applying to the Christian altar; but Aquinas thought the reference was to Christ himself, "Allegoricè hoc loco interpretatus Doctor Angelicus S. Thomas altare pro Christo." 3. In a chapel of Sta. Prudentiana at Rome can still be seen, between the chinks of the stone altar, the wooden mensa on which St. Peter is said to have celebrated; but Arringhi and another writer, Florentinus," his name not being, however, given, say that St. Peter's altar is in the church of Sta. Praxede. Gattico says that the monks of Vallom In "In Basilica SS. Dei Genetricis quæ est ad Præsepe in altari ipsius Præsepis fecit laminas ex auro purissimo, historiis depictis [compare M. du Caumont's reference to "dalles historiées" in his 'Abécédaire'] pensantes simul libras 105," So in the "Life of Leo III." a pall or altar frontal or antependium of gold and silver is probably all that is meant. In the will of a Count Everard, who lived in the tenth century, is noted "altare argento paratum unum "; but (cf. French parures) this may mean only with silver vestings, or perhaps only the altar "stoles" were silver. Again, the Abbé Suger, who built St. Denis, near Paris, and the Sainte Chapelle in old Paris, |
