1686 Cesare Baronio History of Catholic Church Ecclesiastical Annals Popes HUGE

“The greatest history of the Church ever written!” (Lord Acton, on ‘Annales’)

Cesare Baronio of Sora was a 16^th-century Italian cardinal and historian of the Catholic Church. Baronio had extensive conversations with Galileo on the heavens and was quoted as saying that “the Bible teaches us how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go” in direct opposition to the famed astronomer.

Baronio wrote numerous theological works, but none more important than ‘Ecclesiastical Annales’. In this work, Baronio provides a history of the first 12 centuries of the church with a heavy influence from the papacy. Even still, with direction from the Vatican, Baronio’s ‘Annales’ is considered to be the “greatest history of the Church every written!”
