Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Mullins . . . spans the intriguing 70 years of the Avignon papacy with this highly readable narrative . . . he draws readers into this fascinating period of the church's 'Babylonian captivity.' " --"Library Journal"

"Describes one of the most remarkable episodes in the history of the Middle Ages. . . . This is history made thoroughly evocative and engaging." --Ross King, author, "Brunelleschi's Dome"

"As Edwin Mullins says in his fine study, the papacy became increasingly secularized and increasingly materialistic. . . . The author traces this process very well and colorfully describes its context. . . . A study that should be welcomed by all interested in this pivotal period." --Thomas Bokenkotter, author, "A Concise History of the Catholic Church"

"An excellent introduction to a critical period in the history of medieval Europe and the church. Mullins provides a well-balanced and sympathetic treatment of popes often denigrated for their lack of piety." --Michael Frassetto, author, " The Great Medieval Heretics"

Reseña del editor:

This narrative history masterfully weaves together the sweeping events surrounding the so-called Babylonian captivity” of the popes into the broader story of 14th-century Europe, a turbulent time of transition between Middle Ages and Renaissance when seven successive popes resided in Avignon in the south of France.
