Excerpt from Manuel des uvres de Bronze Et d'Orfévrerie du Moyen Age On peut bien dire que l'homme, à partir du jour où la terre lui fut assu jettie et livrée en toute propriété 1, n'a pas laissé son domaine en friche. Si le travail lui fut imposé comme une punition, chaque jour, depuis que le monde existe, le genre humain subit sa peine et accomplit sa tâche avec une ardeur qui s'accroît au lieu de se ralentir; car c'est pour notre époque sur tout que semble avoir été créée l'expression virgilienne du labor improbus de ce labeur, poussé à tort et à travers et qui, pour tout vaincre, ne connaît ni obstacle ni repos. D'ordinaire, les savants divisent les objets naturels, sur lesquels s'exerce le travail de l'homme, en trois grandes classes les animaux, les végétaux, les minéraux. Pour se nourrir, l'homme s'attaqua d'abord aux animaux; pour s'abriter, îl eut principalement recours aux végétaux, aux feuilles et aux arbres. Ces deux classes subsistent à la surface du globe, et l'homme fut d'abord chasseur et laboureur pour conserver son existence. Mais bientôt, après avoir éventré la surface du sol', il descendit dans les entrailles de la terre et en rapporte. Des minéraux et des métaux qu 1l fit servir à son bonheur et à ses plaisirs, à la gloire de la Divinité et à sa propre satisfaction.

Excerpt from Annales Archéologiques, 1856, Vol. 16 Comme dans toutes les villes que j'aime, j'ai d'abord perdu beaucoup de temps à regarder celle de Sienne; à courir dans les rues, d'un monument à l'autre, sans but précis; à tout dévorer des yeux. J'étais dans la ville de sainte Catherine une de mes plus grandes affections et je n'eus de repos que quand on m'eut montré la maison où est née, a vécu, a souffert, cette jeune femme illustre qui est pour moi le type le plus élevé de la charité chrétienne. Quand M. V. Petit et mon neveu dessinaient au palais de la République ou à la cathédrale, je m'écliappais furtivement, pour ainsi dire, et je descendais lentement la via' Pancaccia au milieu de laquelle, sur la droite, est la maison, aujourd'hui convertie en oratoire, où sainte Catherine vint au monde. Arrivé en face de cette maison, je regardais la pente rapide que la jeune mourante monta tant de fois avec peine notamment quand, malade et souf?ante des pieds à la tête suivant l'expression de Raymond de Capoue, son biographe et confesseur, elle porta cent livres de provisions à la pauvre veuve, à la malheureuse mère de famille de son voisinage La maison de la veuve, j'ignore si l'on s'en sou vient et si on la montre à Sienne, mais moi, je l'ai devinée et reconnue; j'ai retrouvé encore existante la porte fermée seulement par la partie inférieure et que sainte Catherine ouvrit en passant son bras en dedans.

Didron was born at Hautvillers, in the department of Marne, on the 13th of March 1806.
Didron began his education as a student of law. Then he completed his early studies at the preparatory seminaries of Meaux and Reims.
Didron became a professor of history in Paris in 1826. In 1830 he began, by the advice of Victor Hugo, a study of the Christian archaeology of the middle ages. After visiting and examining the principal churches, first of Normandy, then of central and southern France, he was on his return appointed by Guizot secretary to the Historical Committee of Arts and Monuments (1835) and in the following years he delivered several courses of lectures on Christian iconography at the Bibliothèque Royale.
In 1839 he visited Greece for the purpose of examining the art of the Eastern Church, both in its buildings and its manuscripts. In 1844 he originated the Annales archéologiques, a periodical devoted to his favourite subject, which he edited until his death. In 1845 he established at Paris a special archaeological library, and at the same time a manufactory of painted glass. In the same year he was admitted to the Legion of Honour. His most important work is the Iconographie chrétienne, of which, however, the first portion only, Histoire de Dieu (1843), was published. It was translated into English by E. J. Millington. Among his other works may be mentioned the Manuel des objets de bronze et d'orfèvrerie (1859).
