Art and Identity in Early Modern Rome
This splendid non-fiction book has been my bedtime reading, and it is a very exhaustive research book on the Papacy, with hundreds of illustrations, sidebars, and extra material. And I loved reading this book.
For each Pope, from St. Peter to John Paul II (more anon), the author has a sidebar of biographical information and a detailed biography. Periodically, at the bottom of the page, appears a bar timeline of the reign of the Popes, with other pertinent information noted. When appropriate in the chronological order, sidebars of non-Pope important people are given, and there are detailed sections about the Crusades, the Avignon papacy, the Reformation, and other historical events.
The book was written in 1997, so the reign of John Paul II is given rather short shrift (it is nearly impossible to access the career of someone who is still living, and John Paul II was Pope until 2005). And, of course, the reign of Pope Benedict XVI (2005 - 2013) and the current reign of Pope Francis (2013 - ) are not mentioned at all. (The second edition was published in 2006, and includes Pope Benedict XVI.)
This was a very good book, and I am very happy to have it in my library.
