Auf der Suche nach dem Rotulus di Ravenna, einer Handschrift mit sehr alten Adventsgebeten, ‚entdeckte‘ der Verfasser 1952 die unvergleichlichen Kostbarkeiten dieser Stadt. In den folgenden fünfundzwanzig Jahren reiste er viele Male mit Gruppen seiner Gemeinde dorthin, in immer wachsendem Maße ergriffen und beglückt von der Schönheit und der künstlerischen und theologischen Aussagekraft der aus frühester Zeit stammenden Mosaikbilder.
Wilhelm Schmidt wurde 1914 in Hessen geboren. Studium der evangelischen Theologie in Göttingen und Münster. Vikariat am Kaiserdom in Königslutter. Nach Militärdienst und Kriegsgefangenschaft Pastor in Schöningen und an der Kirche vom Heiligen Kreuz zu Bremen-Horn. Als Vertreter der Ev. Michaelsbruderschaft war er Konzilsbeobachter während der dritten und vierten Session des Zweiten Vatikanums.
Nach seiner Emeritierung lebte der Autor in Südtirol, heute ist er im Schwarzwald beheimatet.
