1724 1^ed Life of Cardinal Georges Amboise Catholic Papacy Italy France Gendre

Georges d’Amboise was a celebrated 15^th-century Catholic French cardinal known for his influence in Italy and the papacy. In fact, his political power often superseded any religious impact he had, much in part to the numerous treaties his signed. Author Louis le Gendre published perhaps the best and most thorough account of the life and political prowess of d’Amboise. Published in 1724, this first edition is not only a biography of Amboise, but serves as an important history of the political climate between France and Italy in the 15^th-century.
