December 26, 1847 – December 9, 1915
Hans Gross was an Austrian jurist and magistrate widely regarded as the founder of criminalistics. His seminal 1893 handbook, "Handbuch fur Untersuchungsrichter, Polizeibeamte, Gendarmen, u.s.w.", marked the advent of applying scientific methods to crime investigation. Gross masterfully synthesized disparate fields of knowledge, adapting them for practical use in combating crime, notably incorporating techniques like crime scene photography. His work fundamentally transformed the systematic approach to law enforcement and forensic science.

Focusing on the city of Rome during the Enlightenment, this scholarly work offers an in-depth analysis of its material and institutional structures, such as demographics and economy, alongside its cultural and artistic life. Professor Gross employs extensive archival research and contemporary engravings to create a comprehensive portrait of the papal capital. He argues that the decline of Counter-Reformation fervor led to significant dissonance in the city's political, social, and cultural spheres, making this an essential resource for understanding Rome's unique historical context.
