Excerpt from Rosa Mystica: The Fifteen Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary Other Joys, Sorrows and Glories of Mary, Illustrated With Copies of the Rosary Frescoes of Giovanni Di San Giovanni and Other ArtistsAttention will not be refused to the frontispiece, for which I have to thank a kind brother in St. Philip. Its design suggested the title chosen for the book a title, be it said, also given by the Fathers of Chiesa Nuova to the beautiful Church our St. Philip built. The Invocation, regina sacratissimi hosarii, ora i'ro nobis, together with the date 1633, shows that the Holy Father Leo XIII. Was in reality only reviving an ancient devotion when he added this same invocation to the Litany of Loreto.The frescoes which illustrate the First Part of this book deserve more than mere mention in a preface, and a separate notice describes them. It only remains to express to His Grace the Duke of Norfolk my gratitude for his kind and generous permission to reproduce and use them here. They and the pictures in the Second Part alike show the superiority of Catholic artists in interpretation of the Text of Holy Scripture.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
