Bibliographic Orientation to the Catacombs and Related Studies

The International Catacomb Society's BiblioSelect™ is a bibliographic orientation to research on the catacombs of Rome and related topics.

This feature is by definition a work in progress and we welcome additions! Please email full bibliographic citations to info@catacombsociety.org.

This bibliography has been assembled by scholars connected with the ICS and curated by Executive Director Jessica Dello Russo (to 2018); special thanks go to Stefanos Alexopoulos, Jeffrey Spier, Dennis Trout, and Drew Wilburn for their help.
