  • The Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo De El Escorial
    The Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial The Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial was built by Philip II in the 16th century and served as a royal palace, monastery and necropolis for numerous Spanish kings. The “El Escorial” is one of the most important visitor sites in Spain. Philip II wished to commemorate the Spanish victory in the battle of St. Quentin, fought on August 10th 1557 on St. Lawrence’s day. As Philip II was devoted to this Saint he decided to build the monastery as a royal pantheon. The king decided to found a religious institution to house the pantheon of his entire dynasty, together with a place of worship, a royal palace, a community of Hieronymite monks, a seminary and a library. The Monastery took twenty-one years to be built (from 1563 to 1584). In the beginning the work was directed by Juan Bautista de Toledo, but following Toledo’s premature death in 1567, his pupil Juan de Herrera began to excel as supervisor of the works. Herrera took over the direction and changed it somewhat into his own personal style. THE ROYAL MAUSOLEUM Philip II wanted to build a crypt below the High Altar, destined for a Royal Pantheon. But he died before his wish was accomplished, and it was his son, Philip III, who fulfilled his father’s desire. Works started in 1617 under the direction of the architect Juan Gómez de Mora. On his death, the work was already well advanced but the project remained unfinished for twenty-two years.

  • THE EXCAVATIONS UNDER SAINT PETER's 295 Moment to Their Readers; for the Excavations Can Never Be Thrown Open to the General Public
    THE EXCAVATIONS UNDER SAINT PETERS EDGAR R. SMOTHERS, SJ. West Baden College E HAVE at last a work in English on the excavations under St. WPeter's, which were commanded in 1939 by Pius XII, and pub­ lished by the archaeologists immediately concerned in their Esplora- zioni sotto la Confessione di San Pietro in Vaticano (1951).1 Apart from this monumental report, from which serious authors must always draw, our new one, The Shrine of St. Peter and the Vatican Excava­ tions, by Jocelyn Toynbee and John Ward Perkins, is the fullest and best account we have in any language.2 Some of their opinions are open to discussion; further information on certain points, it may be ex­ pected, will be forthcoming; but, just as it is, their work is so sound and so thorough as to deserve the highest praise. Before we enter into detail, let us define the question with which we shall be especially concerned, and our approach to it. What is the historical significance of the discoveries, pagan and Christian, at the site of the reputed burial place of the Prince of the Apostles? Theo­ logians need not be told that no doctrine of divine faith could depend upon the unpredictable findings of the spade. It is highly satisfying to have this point clearly stated by the Holy Father: "As regards the Apostle Peter and his place in the Church of Christ, while the proof from monuments of the sojourn and death of Peter in Rome is not of essential importance for the Catholic faith, nevertheless We caused the well-known excavations to be made under the basilica."8 The archaeological evidence ought, therefore, to be interpreted according to sound archaeological principles and without embarrassment.

  • Celebrating the Late Gothic at the Carthusian Monastery of Santa María De Miraflores
    n extraordinary altarpiece and several stone funerary monuments within the fifteenth-century monastery church of Santa María de Miraflores in Burgos Burgos have just been unveiled following a two-year WMF-sponsored restoration. Located in northwestern Spain, the Cartuja (or Carthusian monastery) Madrid de Santa María de Miraflores was designed by Hans and Simon of Cologne and completed in 1482. The complex was built atop the remains of an early SPAIN fifteenth-century hunting lodge that was given to the Carthusian Order by King John II in 1442 and which was subsequently gutted by fire. Within the monastery church is one of the most important ensembles of late Gothic art and architecture to sur- Avive in Spain—two intricately carved stone sepulchers and a massive gilt and polychrome wooden altar—all the work of “wandering Jewish” artist Gil de Siloé, executed between 1493 and 1499. The principal tomb is that of King John II and his second wife Isabel. The second belongs to their son, the Infante Alfonso, who died at the age of 14, having been poisoned in the wars of suc- cession. His death paved the way for his sister Isabella—principal patron of Christopher Columbus’ New World voyages—to ascend to the throne. Her marriage to Ferdinand in 1469 joined the royal houses of Castille and Aragon, leading to the creation of modern Spain. The carved alabaster mausoleum of King John II and Queen Isabel is in the shape of an eight- pointed star, a representation of the Maltese Cross and an emblem of the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem at the time of the crusades.

Upon entering I St. Peter's, one can see many parallels between it and Solomon's Temple in both architecture and orientation. Even more striking are the similarities between the political and reli­ gious roles of St. Peter's Basilica and those of an ancient Near Eastern temple. Christians believed that Christ fulfilled the Levitical temple functions and that temple worshlp finally ended with the destruction of the Second Temple at Jerusalem in AD 70, but Christians never completely escaped from the idea that a temple was necessary.

The uniqueness of this study is its combined focus on the religious practice of the laity and reverential attitude of the ecclesiastic sector towards these holy remains and their role as activators and prompters for the physical transformations in architecture and shrines.

  • May a Mausoleum Be Used for Jewish Burial? RABBI MORRIS FELDMAN
    May a Mausoleum Be Used for Jewish Burial? RABBI MORRIS FELDMAN This paper was adopted on June 7, 1983 by a vote of 11-0-1. Members voting in favor: Rabbis Kassel Abelson, /sidoro Aizenberg, Ephraim L. Bennett, Ben Zion Bokser, David M. Feldman, Morris Feldman, David H. Lincoln, Joel Roth, Morris M. Shapiro, Gordon Tucker and Alan J. Yuter. Abstaining: Rabbi Edward M. Gershfield. Note: An addendum, "The Use of Mausoleums for Jewish Burial" by Rabbi David H. Lincoln, was adopted by the Committee by the same vote, and appears following this paper. SHE'ELAH Does Jewish law permit burial above ground or is burial restricted to below ground? TESHUVAH The same question has come before the Law Committee on numerous occasions and in each instance the response has been in the negative. At times the language of the reply was expressed in very strong opposition to even the suggestion that the question should arise. One reply was unequivocal by stating that "Burial in mausoleums is absolutely against Jewish law." Rabbi Jules Harlow, in The Bond of Life, states categorically that "the dead are buried in the earth, 'for dust you are and to dust you shall return' (Genesis 3:19). This strong distaste for an alternate method of above-ground burial in mausoleums is caused, I believe, by the present fully accepted world-wide and entrenched approach we employ today. Our present tradition of burying the dead in a casket placed in a grave below ground is so universally recognized that it has become virtually inconceivable to even suggest that other methods were ever employed or may be employed today.
