Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the Popes, Vol. 1: From the Rise of the Roman Church to the Dawn of the Reformation, A. D. 100-1431 The title of pope, or more correctly papa, was, in the earliest days of Christianity, spon taneously applied, by the love and reverence of believers, to those who were over them in the Lord, and whom they justly regarded as their Spiritual fathers. It was the common dis tinction of the presbyters and bishops from all the other members of the church, who styled each other, in the same spirit of Christian sim plicity and affection, brethren and sisters, and received new converts into their com munion, as new members into a family, with a fraternal kiss. Not till the eleventh century was the title of pope claimed by the bishop of Rome as his exclusive right. From that time, however, it has been generally em ployed to distinguish the Roman bishop from all others holding the episcopal office in the Christian church, and has been applied to such as preceded the above-named epoch, as well as to those who have more lately occupied the papal chair.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the Popes, Vol. 4 From the commencement of the re - action which followed so swiftly on the great Reformation, the character of the Roman pontiffs underwent a remarkable change. Men of activity and energy, not mere men of pleasure, were now chosen to steer through troubled waters the bark of St. Peter. Attention was paid not only to the personal influence, but also to the personal qualities of a candidate for the tiara. Hardly would a Leo X., much less an Alexander VL, have now succeeded in winning the suf frages of the conclave.

Download or read book Lives of the Popes written by Platina and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bartolomeo Platina (1421-1481), historian, political theorist, and author of a best-selling cookbook, began life as a mercenary soldier and ended it as the head of the Vatican Library. A papal official under the humanist Pope Pius II, he was a member of the humanist academies of Cardinal Bessarion and Pomponio Leto, and was twice imprisoned for conspiring against Pope Paul II. Returning to favor under Pope Sixtus IV, he composed his most famous work, a biographical compendium of the Roman popes from St. Peter down to his own time. The work critically synthesized a wide range of sources and became the standard reference work on papal history for early modern Europe, reprinted dozens of times and translated into a number of languages. A characteristic work of Renaissance humanism, it used Christian antiquity as a standard against which to criticize modern churchmen. This edition contains the first complete translation into English and an improved Latin text. Volume 1, the first of a projected four, covers the period from the founding of the church through ad 461.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the Popes in the Early Middle Ages, Vol. 4 If edification were the sole, or even the principal, object which I had in view in undertaking to write the biographies of the Popes of the early Middle Ages, I might perhaps have hesitated about publishing the present series. But I wish to pursue a higher end than that of indulging in a style of historical writing which is supposed to be calculated to edify a certain type of mind. I would fulfil what I regard as a command laid upon me by the late glorious Head of the Church, and strive to make known the history of the Popes of Rome. And, as it was a cardinal maxim with Leo XIII. that truth would not injure the Church, I am convinced that he would not have had the Lives of some Popes written and the Lives of others left unrecorded, nor would he have wished to see some of their deeds blazoned forth and others buried in eternal oblivion. I know, too, that one of the greatest of the predecessors of Leo XIII. laid it down that "if scandal be taken from the enunciation of truth, it is better to allow the scandal to arise than to leave the word of truth unrecorded."

The first modern writer to realize that at any rate Benedict Gaetani was a great man, and that, although, because he failed to read the Signs of the times, his imperious character proved disastrous to himself and to the temporal position of the Papacy, he was nevertheless an heroic figure, and was one who is generally said to be a countryman of ours.

This book was released on 2018-03-16 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the Popes in the Middle Ages, Vol. 16 The honoured worker whose labours in the field of medieval Papal history deserve such recognition did not live to complete his work. Vol. XVI. was completed in manuscript at his death, and almost ready for the printer, in so far as the Pontificates from Innocent V. to Nicholas III. (1276-1280) were concerned. All that was necessary was a trifling matter of arrangement for printing. Perhaps the author might have developed some small point here or there when giving his work its final touches, but respect for him obviously requires that the manuscript should be printed unaltered, as it left his hands. With regard to the Pontificates of Martin IV. and Honorius IV. the situation is different. No preliminary work had been done on this period, with the exception of an unimportant extract from Potthast's Regesta. Original monographs had to be prepared regarding these two Popes. This distinction is shown outwardly by the division of the volume into two parts, the first comprising the Pontificates from 1276 to 1280, treated by Monsignor Mann, while the second covers the Pontificates treated by the undersigned, those from 1281 to 1287. This division is also justified by the material itself, since Martin IV. followed methods and policies altogether different from those of his predecessor Nicholas III. and often opposed to those of the latter. I alone am responsible for the treatment of the second part. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
