Abstract (en)

Offers an iconographical explanation for S. Ivo alla Sapienza, Rome, 1642-1660. Concentrates on a description of the Temple of Wisdom in Psychomachia, a poem by Prudentius (ca.405 AD) and compares it to S. Ivo. Argues that Borromini was influenced by the description and that the Baroque church incorporates Early Christian features.
