In the prosecution of the interdisciplinary project analysing the veneration of Saints and the historical background of donations in the late antique city of Naples, our studies on the tradition and development of the religious cult of St. Gennaro are to be finalized. At the end of our previous research the so far assumed dominance of this saint in the religious life in 5th and 6th-century Naples has been disproved beyond doubt. It is therefore now necessary to determine his position within the autochthonous hierarchy of the Saints anew. This is especially advisable regarding several indications pointing out that the veneration of Saints at that time was not limited to St. Gennaro by far. In order to find out when, and respectively why, the cult of St. Gennaro became a mass phenomenon finally resulting in the patronage of Naples, the development of this cult from the 7th century on has to be carefully studied. When doing so, studies also have to focus on the question if the cult was still linked to the local episcopacy, on the various facets of episcopal donorship, and how these two issues influenced the sacral topography of the town. Finally, investigations have to be made on the role of the episcopal cult personified by St. Agrippino (possibly a competing Saint to St. Gennaro), traces of which can already be found in the late antique catacomb. With reference to numerous sources of the archaeological, epigraphical, numismatical and literary kind many of which have not yet been published, we intend to find answers to the above-mentioned questions in order to get a clear and complex impression of the veneration of Saints and the nature of donorship in 5th-10th-century Naples.Thus, there will be numerous new and fruitful aspects for the history of arts of the city of Naples during Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages as well as for the ecclesiastical history of this period. However, the results will not only be of local/regional importance, but at the same time they will be paradigmatic for the general history of arts and religion of the period concerned. Thus, for example, the poorly published early medieval catacomb paintings of Naples are an enormous enrichment to our (due to lack of monuments thusly dated) rather fragmentary knowledge of the development of painting in the Eastern and Western World.

在进行跨学科项目分析圣徒崇拜和捐赠的历史背景在已故古城那不勒斯，我们的研究传统和发展的宗教崇拜圣Gennaro将完成。在我们之前的研究结束时，迄今为止假定的这位圣人在5世纪和6世纪那不勒斯宗教生活中的主导地位已经被毫无疑问地推翻了。因此，现在有必要重新确定他在圣徒的本土等级制度中的地位。Gennaro by far.这是特别可取的关于几个迹象指出，崇拜的圣徒在那个时候并不局限于圣Gennaro。为了找出什么时候，以及分别为什么，圣Gennaro邪教成为一个大规模的现象，最终导致在那不勒斯的赞助，发展这种邪教从第7世纪必须仔细研究。在这样做的时候，研究还必须集中在这个问题上，如果邪教仍然与当地的主教，主教捐赠的各个方面，以及这两个问题如何影响了城镇的骶骨地形。最后，调查必须对由圣阿格里皮诺（可能是圣Gennaro的竞争圣人）人格化的主教邪教的作用进行，其痕迹已经可以在晚期的古董地下墓穴中找到。我们参考了大量的考古学、金石学、钱币学和文学方面的资料，其中许多尚未出版，我们打算找到上述问题的答案，以便对圣徒的崇拜和5 - 10世纪那不勒斯的捐赠性质有一个清晰而复杂的印象。对于古代晚期和中世纪早期那不勒斯城的艺术史以及这一时期的教会史来说，将有许多新的和富有成果的方面。然而，研究结果不仅具有地方/区域的重要性，同时也将成为有关时期艺术和宗教通史的典范。因此，例如，出版不多的那不勒斯中世纪早期地下墓穴绘画，极大地丰富了我们（由于缺乏这样确定年代的纪念碑）关于东西方世界绘画发展的相当零碎的知识。
