Title A name given to the resource San Saba: A Spiritual Outpost in the Disabitato Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Francesca Arcidiacono (2016) Description An account of the resource Established as a monastery in the 7th century by Palestinian monks who had fled Jerusalem, the current church structure of San Saba dates to the 12th century but has undergone numerous renovations and restorations. After Pope Lucius II gave the church to the order in 1145 it became a monastery for Cluniac Benedictine monks. Between the 13th and 15th centuries, San Saba was isolated, located on a hill called the "Little Aventine" and surrounded by the fields and farms of the disabitato. While much attention has been given to the Eastern influence present in San Saba's original decoration, elements remain from the later medieval period when the Cluniac monks restored much of the church following damage from the 1084 Norman invasion. Most noticeably, the doorway and floor, as well as the bishop's throne have cosmatesque decoration - a distinctive, geometric style of tilework. An inscription on the main doorframe attributes these to Giacomo, the father of Cosma, and dates them to 1205. There are also 13th century frescos in what is known as the "fourth nave" - an extra, shorter aisle on the left side of the church - depicting the Madonna and Child and tales from the life of St. Nicholas. Abstract A summary of the resource. Established as a monastery in the 7th century by Palestinian monks who had fled Jerusalem, the current church structure of San Saba dates to around the 12th century but has undergone numerous building projects and restorations throughout its history. After Pope Lucius II gave the church to the order in 1145 it became monastery for Cluniac Benedictine monks. Between the 13th and 15th centuries, San Saba would have been isolated, located on a hill called the "Little Aventine" and surrounded by fields and farms in an area known as the disabitato.
