Über diesen Titel

In Volume III of this captivating exploration of the Papacy, we delve into the tumultuous events surrounding the Council of Basel, where a faction revolts against Pope Eugenius IV, who remains steadfast in his defense of papal autonomy amidst the growing calls for church reform. Central to this narrative is Aeneus Sylvius Piccolomini, known as Pope Pius II—a renowned author, diplomat, and Renaissance humanist. His journey culminates in Ancona, where he meets his end at the forefront of a faltering crusade. As Creighton eloquently states, Pius II embodies a captivating blend of weakness and strength, vanity and ambition, all while aspiring to a vision of Christendom that transcends the limitations of his time. Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.
