Summary

Robertson (history, U. of Melbourne, Australia) has written a history of the power struggle between Pope Paul II (1464-1471) and the commune of Bologna. The political motivations of Paul II are analyzed to show the importance of the state of Bologna to the Papal State and Paul's frustration with the ruling oligarchy. The history of Bologna's governing system is vividly told, with many quotes from primary sources included (in both Italian and English translation). The audience will be historians of Italy's city- states and Renaissance political history. Distributed by the David Brown Book Company. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
