Ecclesia SS. Vincentii et Anastasiae ad Tres Fontes (The Church of Saints Vincent and Anastasius at the Three Fountains)
Giacomo (Iacomo) Lauro, from Antiquae Urbis Splendor (Splendore dell’antica Roma).
Rome, ca. 1612–1615. Copper engraving with later hand color.

What’s depicted

Lauro’s view of the Tre Fontane monastic complex outside Rome: the basilica of SS. Vincenzo e Anastasio with its portico and campanile; the small octagonal church of Santa Maria Scala Coeli at right; the oratory of the Tre Fonti upper right; and S. Maria Annunciata at upper left. Figures animate the forecourt. A long Latin note along the bottom recounts the abbey’s history and indulgences.

Plain-English translation of the Latin caption (sense-for-sense)

• The Church of SS. Vincent and Anastasius stands at the Three Fountains near the newer church of the Annunciation.

• Pope Leo III restored it; it was long celebrated for the cult of St. Anastasius Martyr.

• Later the site passed to the Cistercians; Pope Eugene III, himself a Cistercian and disciple of St. Bernard, had been abbot here.

• Pilgrims especially visit Scala Coeli (“Stairway of Heaven”), where—according to pious tradition—angels free souls from purgatory by the merits of Masses said there.

• The abbey received favors and mandates from later popes (Clement VIII is mentioned), and was often frequented by the faithful for its indulgences and miracles.
  (The paragraph closes with brief notes on the complex’s churches and their renown among Roman pilgrims.)
