Reviving the Eternal City examines the culture of Rome and the papal court during the first half of the fifteenth century. As Elizabeth McCahill explains, during these decades Rome and the Curia were caught between conflicting realities--between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, between conciliarism and papalism, between an image of Rome as a restored republic and a dream of the city as a papal capital. Through the testimony of humanists' rhetorical texts and surviving archival materials, McCahill reconstructs the niche that scholars carved for themselves as they penned vivid descriptions of Rome and offered remedies for contemporary social, economic, religious, and political problems. In addition to analyzing the humanists' intellectual and professional program, McCahill investigates the different agendas that popes Martin V (1417-1431) and Eugenius IV (1431-1447) and their cardinals had for the post-Schism pontificate. Reviving the Eternal City illuminates an urban environment in transition and explores the ways in which curialists collaborated and competed to develop Rome's ancient legacy into a potent cultural myth. 410 0$aI Tatti Studies in Italian Renaissance History 517 3 $aRome and the Papal Court, 1420-1447 606 $aPapacy$xHistory$y1378-1447 607 $aRome (Italy)$xHistory$y1420-1798 615 0$aPapacy$xHistory 676 $a262/.1309024 700 $aMcCahill$b Elizabeth M.$f1974-$01008815 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248273003316 996 $aReviving the Eternal City$92327701 997 $aUNISA
