Quiet place of study with a view of St Peter's
The Campo Santo Teutonico library has once again received a rarity through a donation, namely a richly illustrated volume published in 1940 on the new model state that was created under Pope Pius XI in the ten years following the Lateran Treaties (1929).
The anthology by Christopher Kast and Claudia Märtl on papal journeys from the 11th to the 15th century has now been published as the 71st supplement to the Römische Quartalschrift. It comprises the papers presented at the conference held at the RIGG in October 2022, which was funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation.
Susanne Kubersky-Piredda from the Bibliotheca Hertziana and Tobias Daniels have published an impressive volume on the so-called German national church of the "Anima" in Piazza Navona in Rome in the first three centuries of its existence. It is part of the Hertziana's larger "Roma communis patria" project, which examines Rome's national churches and their confraternities from a historical and art-historical perspective.
The first double issue of the 2024 volume of the Römische Quartalschrift für Christliche Altertumskunde und Kirchengeschichte will be published on time in September. The issue, and therefore the entire volume, is dedicated to Vice-Director Prof Dr Johannes Grohe on his 70th birthday. The articles follow:
The conference proceedings ‘Kult des Volkes: Der Volksgedanke in den liturgischen Bewegungen und Reformen’, edited by Markus Schmid (Bethel) and Stefan Heid, are now freely accessible online.

The book on the conference ‘Einheit und Einzigkeit.

It will be edited by Augustinus Sander, Stefan Heid and Hyacinthe Destivelle and is due to be published in the spring.
The first double issue of volume 119 (2024) of RQ was published on time in September 2024. The preface of this volume is dedicated to Prof Dr Johannes Grohe on his 70th birthday.
The issue contains the following articles, all of which can also be read online (see link below):
37 historians from the Roman Institute of the Görres Society have contributed 37 articles on 632 pages on topics relating to the entire history of the Church. Joseph Ratzinger / Pope Benedict XVI was a member of the Roman Institute for 40 years - from 1982 to 2022. The book is now on the market. The cover is adorned with the famous portrait of the Pope by Michael Triegel in the German Embassy to the Holy See.
In a small brochure published by Schnell und Steiner-Verlag, Stefan Heid emphasises the close relationship between the Teutonic Holy Camp and the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology (PIAC), founded in 1925. The brochure is available in both German and Italian and will be presented at the Holy Teutonic Camp on 5 November.
