Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Age of the Renascence: An Outline Sketch of the History of the Papacy From the Return From Avignon to the Sack of Rome (1377-1527) When the writing of this book was proposed to me, some years ago, I undertook it with alacrity, on account of the interest in the subject which I had long cherished, and yet with some grave misgivings lest the pressure of other work, already promised, but not performed, should rob me of the time needed to accomplish this task with thoroughness and precision. For I knew the Age of the Renascence well enough, through previous studies from the literary, artistic, and philosophic points of view, to see that a man could not hope to make even an outline sketch of the Church in this complex period without much labor and steady thought. The very brevity of the book proposed was an added difficulty. It is hard to be concise without be coming inaccurate.

Book Synopsis Avignon and Its Papacy, 1309–1417 by : Joëlle Rollo-Koster
Download or read book Avignon and Its Papacy, 1309–1417 written by Joëlle Rollo-Koster and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the arrival of Clement V in 1309, seven popes ruled the Western Church from Avignon until 1378. Joëlle Rollo-Koster traces the compelling story of the transplanted papacy in Avignon, the city the popes transformed into their capital. Through an engaging blend of political and social history, she argues that we should think more positively about the Avignon papacy, with its effective governance, intellectual creativity, and dynamism. It is a remarkable tale of an institution growing and defending its prerogatives, of people both high and low who produced and served its needs, and of the city they built together. As the author reconsiders the Avignon papacy (1309–1378) and the Great Western Schism (1378–1417) within the social setting of late medieval Avignon, she also recovers the city’s urban texture, the stamp of its streets, the noise of its crowds and celebrations, and its people’s joys and pains. Each chapter focuses on the popes, their rules, the crises they faced, and their administration but also on the history of the city, considering the recent historiography to link the life of the administration with that of the city and its people. The story of Avignon and its inhabitants is crucial for our understanding of the institutional history of the papacy in the later Middle Ages. The author argues that the Avignon papacy and the Schism encouraged fundamental institutional changes in the governance of early modern Europe—effective centralization linked to fiscal policy, efficient bureaucratic governance, court society (société de cour), and conciliarism. This fascinating history of a misunderstood era will bring to life what it was like to live in the fourteenth-century capital of Christianity.

Book Synopsis A History of Perugia (Classic Reprint) by : William Heywood
Download or read book A History of Perugia (Classic Reprint) written by William Heywood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Perugia OR many people Perugia is simply the town of Perugino and of the Baglioni yet the Umbrian school of painting is a product of the Age of the Despots, and, except in name, the free Commune was a thing of the past before the Baglioni rose to power in the fifteenth century. The Perugia over which they lorded it had long since fallen from the position of an independent city-state to that of a mere provincial town whose history is quite without significance. The years of Perugia's greatest prosperity belong to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. During the first half of the Trecento her story comprehends not only that of the neighbouring communes she absorbed, but also that of the Ecclesiastical State and it is probable that, but for her unswerving loyalty to the Guelf cause, the temporal power of the Papacy would hardly have survived the removal of the Apos tolic See to Avignon. Upon this Perugia's claim to a definite place in the history of Italy principally rests, since it is obvious that, if the history of the Papal States is important, that of the Commune which saved them to the Church must be important also.

And the French Pre-Renaissance This modesty of Col's perhaps explains why a man should come down to posterity bracketed with a passing incident, when some of his real services to his country and to the development of the times had been overlooked. This does not mean that Col was a great man. As has often been said, however, the tendencies Of the times fre quently Show themselves more clearly in the minor personages of an epoch than in the geniuses; accordingly in the career of this Human ist and diplomat we may be able to bring to light some of the im portant characteristics and tendencies Of the pre-renaissance in France.
