Book Description:
|
In the first half of the fifteenth century, Rome and the papal court were caught between conflicting realities--between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, conciliarism and papalism, an image of a restored republic and a dream of a papal capital. Elizabeth McCahill explores the transformation of Rome's ancient legacy into a potent cultural myth.
