After the conference on the 200th birthday of the Christian archaeologist Giovanni Battista de Rossi took place in Rome only in February, the conference proceedings are already available. The contributions move off the beaten track and shed completely new light on the great scholar within the European archaeological culture of the 19th century. The 25 contributions deal with archaeological as well as historical aspects and draw largely on archival sources. Görresian contributors are: Chiara Cecalupo, Massimiliano Ghilardi, Stefan Heid, Aleksandra Medennikova, Philippe Pergola, Ingo Schaaf and Elena Turchi.
