The Roman nobility and its enduring airs
The piece argues that Roman nobility blends ancient lines like Orsini Colonna with papal patronage families such as Borghese Barberini Pamphili Chigi Rospigliosi and Odescalchi. It contrasts authentic noble origins with papal sculpted rank, notes grand estates and titles, and questions inherited superiority versus church unlanded merit.

Discovery of a Manuscript from the Time of David
A long fragmentary report describes a tomb found in 1858 by a Theban mountaineer in Shinabd-el Gourna. It details a mummy case with a gilded mask and hieroglyphic papyrus, plus canopi, a scarab, and a green stone tablet. The items passed through several hands, including Lord Henry Scott, a Paris museum link, and George A. Stone of Roxbury. The papyrus was translated by a St Louis scholar, with ties to Champollion’s system. The text claims a history of Pharaoh Shishak I and links to the biblical David era, dating the manuscript to around 1050 BCE. The article notes the document predates Rome by about 1,500 years and contains religious Egyptian material.
