The Church in the Face of Crises and Challenges over the Centuries
Challenges, crises and difficult experiences are an integral part of our lives and an inherent element of every human being's existence, in addition to being ingrained in the functioning of organisations, institutions and nations. On many occasions humankind has failed to confront them, resulting in the real dramas that we witness on the pages of history. Fortunately, challenges, crises and difficult situations have often been lessons, from which appropriate conclusions have been drawn, thanks to which it was possible to create a better future. In the history of the Church from its very beginning, challenges have been an integral part of working towards a better tomorrow, a better version of...
Factional Struggles
Factional Struggles' explores the dynamics of conflicts among ruling elites within cities, dynastic courts, rural areas and regional noble lineages during the early modern period. Building on case studies from France, Italy, the Empire and the Swiss Confederation, the essays collected by Mathieu Caesar in this volume highlight how factions were formed and how they shaped political society from the late Middle Ages. The authors have especially focused on how political and religious ideologies contributed to the formation of partisanship, the role of propaganda, and the significance and strategies of factional leaders. The volume shows how factions, despite the generally negative view of them held by theologians and jurists, were in practice accepted and used as political tools.
Warriors for a Living
In Warriors for a Living, Idan Sherer examines the experience of the Spanish infantry during the formative period of the Italian Wars. Decades of clashes between Spain and France transformed Italy into a crucible of military tactics and technology and brought about the emergence of the Spanish infantry tercios as Europe’s finest military force for more than a century. From their recruitment, through the complexities of everyday life in the army and culminating in the potential brutality of soldiering, the book offers a fresh and much needed exploration, analysis and, at times, reconsideration of what it meant to be a professional soldier in early modern Europe.
A Companion to the Early Modern Cardinal

Byzantium in Eastern European Visual Culture in the Late Middle Ages
Byzantium in Eastern European Visual Culture in the Late Middle Ages focuses on how the heritage of Byzantium was continued and transformed alongside local developments in the artistic and cultural traditions of Eastern Europe between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries.
Medieval and Renaissance Lactations
The premise of this volume is that the ubiquity of lactation imagery in early modern visual culture and the discourse on breastfeeding in humanist, religious, medical, and literary writings is a distinct cultural phenomenon that deserves systematic study. Chapters by art historians, social and legal historians, historians of science, and literary scholars explore some of the ambiguities and contradictions surrounding the issue, and point to the need for further study, in particular in the realm of lactation imagery in the visual arts. This volume builds on existing scholarship on representations of the breast, the iconography of the Madonna Lactans, allegories of abundance, nature, and chari...
Kurienuniversität und stadtrömische Universität von ca. 1300 bis 1471
Amongst the oldest universities that of the Roman curia is the Great Unkown; little is known of the university of Rome (and of Avignon till 1378). To compensate the loss of sources materials mainly from the Vatican were intensively analysed and a prosopography of the dons and students (694 biograms in annex) drawn up. Some results: all three were legal universities of the southern type. The curial university was itinerant, it was continued at the general councils. Only when the curia resided there untroubled, the local schools of Rome (and Avignon) became great, international universities and different forms of association with the curial university were tried on. Rome was sought after by students from all over Europe for study of legal theory whereas praxis was learned at the papal court. Another attraction of Rome were the possibilities of attaining higher academic grades without much ceremony (first in theology, later also in law).
Scorribande, lanzichenecchi e soldati ai tempi del Sacco di Roma
Lo palazzo de Jenaczano è andato al bordello. Quando lo vedete non lo credete. Lo sacco de Arsoli à passato cinque milia ducati, et lo havemo abrusciato ad ciò non li menta el nome. Era il 22 novembre 1526 quando Lelio della Valle, luogotenente in armi di Ascanio Colonna, dal suo accampamento di Oricola (sul confine tra Lazio e Abruzzo), con un umorismo che non celava una cinica soddisfazione, informava il fratello Fabrizio di aver saccheggiato la città di Arsoli, dando in pari tempo conto della distruzione del feudo colonnese di Genazzano da parte dei mercenari pontifici. L'inedito e appassionante epistolario tratto dall'Archivio Della Valle-Del Bufalo, conservato nell'Archivio Segreto ...
Fürstabt Celestino Sfondrati von St. Gallen 1696 als Kardinal in Rom
Der Fürstabt des Klosters St.Gallen, Celestino Sfondrati, wurde am 12. Dezember 1695 von Papst Innozenz XII. zum Kardinal erhoben. Einen Monat später reiste der aus einem italienischen Adelsgeschlecht stammende Benediktiner über die Residenzen seiner Familie am Comer See und in Mailand möglichst inkognito nach Rom. Der Papst nahm den neuen Purpurträger freundlich auf und berief ihn alsbald in sieben Kardinalskongregationen. Doch verschlechterte sich der Gesundheitszustand des Kardinals rasch und er starb bereits am 4. September 1696. Sein Grab fand er in seiner Titelkirche Santa Cecilia in Trastevere. Sein Herz hingegen wurde in sein Heimatkloster übertragen und in der Klosterkirche beigesetzt. Berichte seines Privatsekretärs und seines Kammerdieners sowie zahlreiche Briefe und Rechnungen vermitteln erstmals eine Nahaufnahme der Mobilität hoher Geistlichkeit und der römischen Gesellschaft in der Barockzeit.
