Download or read book The Republic of St Peter written by Thomas F. X. Noble and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of St. Peter seeks to reclaim for central Italy an important part of its own history. Noble's thesis is at once original and controversial: that the Republic, an independent political entity, was in existence by the 730s and was not a creation of the Franks in the 750s. Noble examines the political, economic, and religious problems that impelled the central Italians—and a succession of resolute popes—to seek emancipation from the Byzantine Empire. He delineates the social structures and historical traditions that produced a distinctive political society, describes the complete governmental apparatus of the Republic, and provides a comprehensive assessment of the Franco-papal alliance.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: PREFACE. In the volumes now placed before the public, the reader will find the attempt for the first time made to give a history of the Papal States, ?to do that which hitherto has been left altogether undone. Such is the author's apology?his sole, and he hopes, it may be regarded as his sufficient apology, for the three volumes now issued from the press. Histories of the Roman Catholic Church, there are, of all sorts, in every dialect and in every form; and though the same cannot be said of the History of the Popes, (there being, as yet, no work that properly deserves that name), nevertheless, the series of Papal biography may be regarded as complete, and works of rare merit, produced within the present century to illustrate the lives and times of those amongst the Pontiffs who make the greatest figure in history, have, on that subject, also, left but comparatively little to be desired. A history, however, of that region of Central Italy, ?of that realm over which the Popes have swayed the sceptre for more than a thousand years, one may search for in vain. In no language, dead or living, in no shape, ? whether of a consecutive narrative or as a digest of materials, ?under no title, is any such work to be met with. From the importanceand rare attractions of thesub- XI PREFACE. ject, it may well be matter of surprise, it is true, that such a theme should have been so long overlooked or so utterly neglected; nevertheless, let the question be put to the most eminent Bibliopolists of London, Paris, Vienna, Rome, ?their answer will be?there is no such book as a History of the Papal States. Make the round of the great libraries, from the British Museum to the Vatican, the answer will be still the same. It is not, therefore, as an improvement on any pre-existing work that
Download or read book Prisoner of the Vatican written by David I. Kertzer and published by HMH. This book was released on 2006-02-20 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Pulitzer Prize winner’s “fascinating” account of the political battles that led to the end of the Papal States (Entertainment Weekly). From a National Book Award–nominated author, this absorbing history chronicles the birth of modern Italy and the clandestine politics behind the Vatican’s last stand in the battle between the church and the newly created Italian state. When Italy’s armies seized the Holy City and claimed it for the Italian capital, Pope Pius IX, outraged, retreated to the Vatican and declared himself a prisoner, calling on foreign powers to force the Italians out of Rome. The action set in motion decades of political intrigue that hinged on such fascinating characters as Garibaldi, King Viktor Emmanuel, Napoleon III, and Chancellor Bismarck. Drawing on a wealth of secret documents long buried in the Vatican archives, David I. Kertzer reveals a fascinating story of outrageous accusations, mutual denunciations, and secret dealings that will leave readers hard-pressed to ever think of Italy, or the Vatican, in the same way again. “A rousing tale of clerical skullduggery and topsy-turvy politics, laced with plenty of cross-border intrigue.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

This memorable proceeding, which has left its impressions in effects the most lasting and beneficent on the face of the civilized world to the present day, was primarily occasioned by an atrocious attack on the Pontiff, Saint Leo III, * as, in the third year of his reign, and, on St. George's day, he was proceeding from the Lateran to San Lorenzo in Lucina: the church where the procession was to form, in order to proceed thence to the station in the Velabrum--the valley between the Capitol and the Palatine--where stood the church of Saint George. The names and offices of the two leaders of the conspiracy are known to us. The exact scene of the atrocity itself, we also know. How the chief conspirators, Paschal and Campulus, presented themselves to the Pope, were benignly received with forgiveness and his blessing, notwithstanding * An. 799. the irregularity of their demeanour: with what Iscariot-like duplicity, they fawned on the object of their treason: the suddenness and fury with which, at a remote point, far away (more than a mile) from where the faithful were assembled in prayer, the assassins sprung, sword in hand, from their ambuscade; how the terror-stricken attendants--mostly acolytes and clergy, and all unarmed--were scattered: how, dragged to the ground by the archtraitors, the sacerdotal robes were torn off the person of the successor of the Apostle, his body covered with wounds and bruises; how, under cover of the night, for securer custody, they hurried their victim, after striving to tear out his tongue and his eyes, from the monastery of Saints Stephen and Sylveste

Download or read book The Popes written by John Julius Norwich and published by Arrow. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Julius Norwich examines the oldest continuing institution in the world, tracing the papal line down the centuries from St Peter (traditionally - but by no means historically - the first Pope) to the present. Of the 280-odd holders of the supreme office, some have unquestionably been saints; others have wallowed in unspeakable iniquity. One was said to have been a woman, her sex being revealed only when she improvidently gave birth to a baby during a papal procession. Almost as shocking was Formosus whose murdered corpse was exhumed, clothed in pontifical vestments, propped up on a throne and subjected to trial; or John XII, of whom Gibbon wrote 'his rapes of virgins and widows had deterred the female pilgrims from visiting the shrine of St Peter'. John Julius Norwich brings the story up to date with lively investigations into the anti-semitism of the contemptible Pius XII, the possible murder of John Paul I and the phenomenon of the Polish John Paul II. From the glories of Byzantium to the decay of Rome, from the Albigensian Heresy to controversy within the Church today, "The Popes" is superbly written, witty and revealing.
Download or read book Electing the Pope in Early Modern Italy 1450 1700 written by Miles Pattenden and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electing the Pope in Early Modern Italy, 1450-1700 offers a radical reassessment of the history of early modern papacy, constructed through the first major analytical treatment of papal elections in English. Papal elections, with their ceremonial pomp and high drama, are compelling theater, but, until now, no one has analyzed them on the basis of the problems they created for cardinals: how were they to agree rules and enforce them? How should they manage the interregnum? How did they decide for whom to vote? How was the new pope to assert himself over a group of men who, until just moments before, had been his equals and peers? This study traces how the cardinals' responses to these problems evolved over the period from Martin V's return to Rome in 1420 to Pius VI's departure from it in 1798, placing them in the context of the papacy's wider institutional developments. Miles Pattenden argues not only that the elective nature of the papal office was crucial to how papal history unfolded but also that the cardinals of the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries present us with a unique case study for observing the approaches to decision-making and problem-solving within an elite political group.
