Meer over het boek
Rome, 1514. It is the high summer of the Italian Renaissance. The Turks have extinguished Constantinople, Rome's thousand-year rival. The ships of Portugal and Spain are gaining access to "new" worlds both east and west. Architects, craftsmen and artists - Bramante, Michelangelo and Raphael among themswarm for commissions to rebuild and embellish the long-derelict city. The Eternal City is once again the undisputed center of Christendom. So what on earth is the pope doing with a baby white elephant? In this tour de force of original scholarship, Silvio Bedini gives us an elephant's-back view of early modern Europe unlike any we have seen before.
