The gravestones of Araceli are still more numerous than those of any church in Rome, though large numbers have perished in the various restorations. Of those that remain, many are wholly or partly illegible. A portion only are here given, which, either for their interest as works of art, as evidence of costume, or as memorials of great names, or for other reasons, are worthy of record. The whole series is of unrivalled interest. In the sacristy is preserved a copy of Memoire Istoriche della Chiesa e Convento di Santa Maria in Araceli di Roma raccolte del P. F. Casimiro Romano dell Ordine dei Minori. Roma, 1736, which gives the inscriptions, now often obliterated, as they stood at that date.
