Jarošová, Alexandra; Buzássyová, Klára, edi.(2011), „lapidárium“, Slovník súčasného slovenského jazyka, H – L, Bratislava: Veda, ISBN 978-80-224-1172-1 Et lapidarium er et område, oftest i forbindelse med en kirkegård, hvor særligt bevaringsværdige minde- og gravsten opstilles. In 2021 the Lapidarium collection was moved to a chamber over the South Quire Transept and choice fragments are exhibited in the Cathedral Crypt. The conservation, care, and curation of the Lapidarium collection has been a major undertaking over several decades. Lapidariul din Turda s-a aflat într-un mic parc din centrul orașului Turda, mărginit de Biserica Reformată-Calvină din Turda-Veche, Liceul Teoretic Jósika Miklós (fosta Școală Teodor Murășanu), Muzeul de Istorie și de fostul Palat al Finanțelor. In prezent se află în incinta păzită a Muzeului de Istorie.

The lapidarium section in the Aquincum Museum, Budapest, Hungary Lapidarium with epitaphs in the Schottenstift (Scottish Abbey), Vienna In 1995, the Lapidarium was placed in the top ten of most beautiful exhibitions in Europe in an international competition. The area below the Chapter Room became a vestry before World War I and the Undercroft was used as an air-raid shelter through both wars. In 1980, Arnold noted that, despite Payne's efforts, 'the stones had since been scattered again, a few preserved elsewhere in the cathedral, but many simply piled up on a ledge inside the ruined Chapter House, exposed to the weather. Some of the best have disappeared, doubtless taken as souvenirs or ornaments"". At Arnold's instigation, following discussions with Cathedral Architect Emil Godfrey, in 1981 the Lapidarium was established in the Treasury over the North Quire Transept. A 1994 portfolio in the Chapter Library compiled by Arnold is a valuable record of this project. In 1986 Cathedral Campers» redecorated the space and repaired the walls and floor. Cathedral Surveyor Martin Care designed the shelving, which was installed by the Royal School of Military Engineering, and Claire Walker and Leslie Hudson are credited with collecting 245 stones and moving them up to the space via a spiral staircase in the North Quire Transept. Judah is an amazing writer. She weaves stone through human history showing us how we gave different types of stone the power of royalty and worship. She breaks down the history of each individual stone and how it’s impacted the human race through history. We interweave them in our mythology. They become a medium for our artwork generation after generation. Our advancement as a species came about by forging stone tools even now the Industrial Revolution was possible because of coal. Have you ever gazed into a stone and wondered as to the stories it stores? The powers it possesses? In her fascinating book, Lapidarium: The Secret Lives of Stones, Hettie Judah explores the hidden history of these lithic marvels, from their role in ancient cultures to their modern-day influences and uses.Seven original baroque groups of statues include the largest monuments: Ecstase of sainte Ludgardis, made by Matthias Bernard Braun, St Francis Xaverius baptising Indians and The Apotheose of St Ignatius of Loyola by Ferdinand Maxmilian Brokoff, which fell into the river in 1890 and was never recovered. Speaking of diamonds, Judah explores the mythology around appropriated gems and their curse, and how Wilkie Collins was inspired by such stories to write The Moonstone. “Owners of the Tavernier Blue, later known as the Hope, have their throats ripped out by dogs, get themselves guillotined, die “of cocaine and pneumonia”.

The earliest scientists ground and processed minerals in a centuries-long quest for a mythic stone that would prolong human life. Michelangelo climbed mountains in Tuscany searching for the sugar-white marble that would yield his sculptures. Catherine the Great wore the wealth of Russia stitched in gemstones onto the front of her bodices. In around 2010 a programme of cleaning, consolidation and classification of the stones was started by London City & Guilds students of stone conservation. Each academic year a few stones are transferred, so that a significant portion of the stones catalogued in 1992 have now been conserved.Identifiable within the series of sketches are 41, 42, 83, 105 and 108). This valuable record shows most items within the Lapidarium collection have suffered considerable damage and loss of material in the intervening two centuries. The heads of statue fragments 42 and 108 have been lost, and the uppermost portion of fragment 83. Not including broken pieces, eight fragments are no longer identifiable within the Lapidarium today. Stones within the collection evidently resulting from a similar context suggests the sketches may not have included all the items recovered during this discovery (for example, 29 and 86. A lapidárium olyan könyveket is jelent, melyek különféle ásványok és drágakövek tulajdonságait tárgyalják a szimpátiatannak megfelelően. The largest statues are housed on the ground floor, which is where you’ll find a mounted statue of Christian V and a copy of a mounted statue of Frederik V. According to the Cambridge dictionary, a lapidary is “ someone whose job is cutting and polishing stones, especially precious stones “.

A kiállítást vagy szabad téren vagy zárt helyiségekben ( múzeumokban, képtárakban, parkokban, udvarokban) rendezik meg. Az első lapidáriumok a reneszánszban létesültek, a 19. században széles körben elterjedtek. Hettie Judah breaks her book down by types of stones into these categories;Stones and Powers, Sacred Stones, Stones and Stories, Stone Technology, Shapes in Stones and Living Stones. Under each of these divisions Judah discusses between 9-11 different stones.

På kirkegårdene ses tit udvalgte bevaringsværdige sten samlet i en slags udendørs museum, men mange steder er det blot alle gravsten fra nedlagte grave samlet eet sted på kirkegården, hvilket så også er et lapidarium omend mere uformelt. Lapidarium is a German word for a collection of stonework and can include sculptures, tombstones and even milestones. The collection items in the Lapidarium come mostly from Prague and Central Bohemia. During the reconstructions of the individual buildings, and also the demolitions of entire city quarters, many valuable pieces were saved and passed to the National Museum. The museum, therefore, acquired the most extensive sets of stone carving works and sculptures between approximately 1890 and 1930, during the period of redevelopment of old Prague. The irreplaceable monuments come from demolished churches (the complex of St. Vitus Cathedral, Vyšehrad), aristocratic palaces and burgher’s houses, and also archaeological and building surveys. Due to modernization and transportation, monuments and fountains that stood in the way of traffic on new crossroads and tram lines (Krocín Fountain on the Old Town Square, the Monument to St. Wenceslaus with a fountain in the Horse Market Square, the Monument to Marshal Radetzky on Lesser Town Square) had to be removed, and they found a place in the museum. The memorials and monuments associated with the Habsburg Monarchy, which were either spontaneously or deliberately removed after the declaration of the independence of Czechoslovakia in 1918, found asylum in the Lapidarium (the Marian column on the Old Town Square, the Memorial to Francis I). Many precious sculptures have entered the Lapidarium‘s collection in recent years, after the originals were replaced by copies (the sculptural decorations of the Old Town Bridge Tower and the Charles Bridge). The Lapidarium (‘repository of stone’) has grown over the past 200 years into a collection of over 400 fine sculptural artefacts from the 8th to the 18th centuries. Anneliese Arnold, wife of Dean John Arnold (1978-1989), noted that despite Payne's efforts the majority of fragments had since been scattered again, a few preserved elsewhere in the cathedral, but many ‘simply piled up on a ledge inside the ruined Chapter House, exposed to the weather. Some of the best have disappeared, doubtless taken as souvenirs or ornaments.’ Following discussions with Cathedral Architect Emil Godfrey in 1981 Arnold established the Lapidarium in a chamber over the east of the North Quire Transept.These adverts enable local businesses to get in front of their target audience – the local community.
