1666 Lives of Popes 200 PORTRAITS Platina Catholic Sacchi Italian Panvinio

Bartolomeo Sacchi, or Platina, was a 15^th-century Italian humanist who is most remembered for his book ‘Vitae Pontificum,’ or ‘Lives of the Popes.’ ‘Lives’ was an important work dedicated to the papacy of important Catholic popes, but Platina wrote the work through the lens of Roman history with obvious themes of paganism. This book was the first systematic handbook on papal history and praises the punishment of heresy throughout the Catholic Church.

This 1666 Italian edition includes an ecclesiastical chronology by Onofrio Panvinio and includes over 200 engravings!
