James Spencer Northcote Libri
Questo sacerdote e scrittore cattolico inglese fu profondamente influenzato da John Henry Newman. Dopo la sua conversione al cattolicesimo e l'ordinazione sacerdotale, dedicò la sua vita allo studio e alla scrittura. La sua opera più significativa, 'Roma Sotterranea', si distingue come uno studio autorevole sulle catacombe, coautore con il vescovo William R. Brownlow. Le sue ampie ricerche accademiche nelle antichità cristiane lo rendono una figura di spicco per coloro interessati alla Chiesa primitiva.
This critical examination of the alleged apparition of the Blessed Virgin to two children on the mountain of La Salette in 1846 offers a fascinating glimpse into a moment of religious fervor.

This thought-provoking book is a must-read for anyone interested in religious history and the ways in which belief systems can shape our world.
