Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, Vol. 4: Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Compositions From the Four Gospels, With Notes and Explanatory Drawings
Saint Paul alihe venerated. [t upheld the portico of a church in the Sion quarter, to which it had been removed by Saint Helena. In every court of justice there was, in fact, a scourging column, and the one in guest/on was probably originally in the forum or public square opposite the Prcetorium. There was also, most lilzely in the court of the Guard - house, another short column to which jesus Christ was fastened when He was crowned wit/1 thorns; this, which was called the Column of Reproach, and is still held in high honour in the Church of Saint Praxedes, mightperhaps be the column from the Tribunal of Caiaphas to which Our Lord was bound during the nightof Holy Thursday preceding Good Frida 11. [t was taken to Rome in 1223 by Car dinal Colon/1a, and it seems very far from reasonable, after the lapse of no less than six centuries, for it to be allowed to come into competition with the one which Saint jerome, writing in the year 430, asserts to have been the true Column of Scourging.
