SCRIPTURAL INSCRIPTIONS

IN FLORENCE'S ENGLISH CEMETERY

We say the Swiss-owned so-called 'English' Cemetery is an archive in marble. It is also the Bible incised in stone. Passages in Hebrew, Greek, Russian, Rumantsch, French, German and English, generally being the King James Bible in English, the Lutheran Bible in German, the Calvinist Bible in French. In this time period Italian Catholics were forbidden the Bible in the vernacular, that only changing with Vatican II. Some of our burials, such as that of Rosa Madiai, are of persons imprisoned for their use of the Bible in Italian in the nineteenth century. The German Biblical passages are often those set to music by Johann Sebastian Bach. The great central column, surmounted by the San Giovanni Cross of lilies and roses set up by Pietro Bazzanti in honour of the visit of the King of Prussia, states in French 'Je suis la R�surrection et la vie, Celui qui croit en moi vivra, Quand m�me il seroit mort. St Jean XI.25. Fr�deric Guillaume, Roi de Prussia, MDCCCLVIII'.
