La vera croce: Da Gerusalemme a Roma alla ricerca del simbolo del cristianesimo
In questo libro, gli autori rivolgono la loro attenzione su un frammento ligneo (della chiesa di Santa Croce a Roma) fino ad ora ignorato e sfidano l'attuale posizione di buona parte degli studiosi che ritiene false le reliquie della Croce. In due autori dimostrano infatti che il residuo del titolo della Croce, che riporta ancora una parte della scritta latina originaria, daterebbe proprio al tempo di Cristo e sarebbe stato portato a Roma dalla regina Elena, la madre di Costantino il Grande che, secondo la leggenda, trovò la Croce a Gerusalemme nel 326, nel luogo ove sorge ora il Santo Sepolcro. Questo libro tenta di riscrivere e di ricostruire una parte fondamentale della storia delle origini del cristianesimo.

Davvero interessante, ottimo sostegno storico e buona lettura, con spunti interessanti dedicati agli addetti al settore ma allo stesso tempo interessante anche per il profano

THIS WAS A SLOG. This book is chockful of material about reading ancient script (which the title above Jesus' head would be). It's quite difficult to get through without a) reading ancient hebrew b) knowledge of the time period c) an ardor to know more about it. Don't get into this book unless you're doing research on a very specific piece of history.
However, it is helpful for those who want to know more about Helena, Constantine's mother. What a fascinating woman! The authors do a fine job of painting her as a feisty, irascible socialite who had a passion for artifacts. A 4th century lady Indiana Jones.
This book was given as a Christmas present years ago and having read it, I realize that the person who gave it to me didn't realize it was a such a academic work.
