概要
 This captivating work explores the intricate history of the medieval Popes, set against the rich backdrop of Rome and its vibrant civilization. The author skillfully intertwines these two narratives to create an authentic depiction of what Rome represented during the Middle Ages. Volume one delves into the state of the Roman Empire at the close of the fourth century, the climactic battle between Paganism and Christianity (AD 394), the emergence of the Primacy of Peter, and the churchs enduring conflict with Arianism.Copyright History & Horror Collections キリスト教 スピリチュアリティ 世界 聖職・福音主義

    Beginning of the Middle Ages by Richard William Church.

    In 395 A.D. Theodosius, the last ruler of the undivided Roman Empire died. To his young and incompetent son, Honorius, he left the government of its western half. Honorius depended upon the great general, Stilicho, to withstand the Visigoths under Alaric. But when he fecklessly abandoned his general to execution by palace intriguers, Alaric conquered and sacked Rome (410). Thus opened the era of chaotic leadership, social disintegration, and barbarian conquest, which used to be called the Dark Ages. The Franks emerged and helped to found the temporal power of the Papacy. Charlemagne consolidated a wide realm and revived learning. But his last years were overshadowed by the first incursions of the terrible Vikings, who in their shallow-draft vessels penetrated the Seine and the Loire into the heart of Gaul and, landing on the British coasts, conquered half of England.

    History of Florence and of the Affairs of Italy, Vol. 1-Niccolò Machiavelli

    History of Florence and of the Affairs of Italy, Vol. 1 by Niccolò Machiavelli.

    History of Florence and of the Affairs of Italy is an historical account by Niccolò Machiavelli. Toward the end of 1520, the Cardinal Giulio of Medici, later Pope Clement VII, offered Machiavelli the appointment to write a history of Florence. Although Machiavelli was reluctant to accept, accepting was his only way to regain the good graces of the Medici who had regained power and were in a position to offer him employment and protection. Doing the history also provided a way for Machiavelli’s views to become the “official” history of Florentine and Italian affairs. Once completed, the work was presented officially to Giulio, now Pope, in May of 1526. Per Project Gutenberg, this text was taken from a Universal Classics Library edition, published in 1901 by W. Walter Dunne, New York and London. The translator was not named.

    History of Florence and of the Affairs of Italy, Vol. 2 by Niccolò Machiavelli.

    History of Florence and of the Affairs of Italy is an historical account by Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527). Toward the end of 1520, the Cardinal Giulio of Medici, later Pope Clement VII, offered Machiavelli the appointment to write a history of Florence. Although Machiavelli was reluctant to accept, accepting was at that time his only possible way to regain the good graces of the Medici. Doing the history also provided a way for Machiavelli’s views to become the “official” history of Florentine and Italian affairs. Once completed, the work was presented officially to Giulio, now Pope, in May of 1526.
