The Letters and Charters of Cardinal G1,tala Bicchieri, Papal Legate in England, 1216-1218. Edited by Nicholas Vincent. [The Canterbury and York Society, Volume LXXXIII.] (Rochester, New York: The Boydell Press. 1996. Pp. xcvi, 193, $45.00.) The thirty-month-long legatine mission to England of Guala Bicchieri certainly coincided with political events of considerable consequence: the deepening of baronial revolt against King John, foreign invasion by the rebels' ally (Louis of France, the future Louis VIII), John's death and his son Henry's disputed succession, the creation of a viable minority government for the new child-king, royalist victory in the ensuing civil war, and the pacification of the country. Historians have long known that Guala's activities to assist the royalist cause-for such was the job assigned him by his superiors, Popes Innocent III and Honorius III-had been considerable. Now Nicholas Vincent of Christ Church College, Canterbury, has exhaustively quarried the letters and other written notices regarding this legation, thereby contributing considerably to our understanding of the politics and diplomacy of the time as well as the relationship between the papacy and English church. The volume comprises two large parts: a sixty-four-page-long introductory essay, which reviews Guala's biography and the history of his English legation, and the ctca (letters to and from Guala. contemporary written references about him by others) relating to his mission (including appendices one and two), In the former part Vincent ranges through a comprehensive variety of topics: the nature of papal legation during the early thirteenth century, Guala's peacemaking activities in England, the legate's relations and interactions with the local episcopate and religious houses, his legitimate-albeit controversiallevying of taxes. (procurations) on individual English churches and prelates to finance his mission, his harsh punishment of those English clergy who rebelled against John and young Henry, Guala's contribution to the later practice of papal provision, the legate's judicial activities, his role as a propagator of ecclesiastical reform, his entourage and their activities. and the form and style of the epistolary documents that Guala and his clerks produced. A Lombard from Vercelli, Guala made his first recorded appearance in 1187 as cathedral canon in that city. Although he was later styled in iure civili peritissimus by all English chronicler, we know practically nothing regarding his education. Vincent suggests that Guala's subsequently attested judicial expertise and his ownership of many theological books might indicate some formal training in both law and theology Innocent III named him cardinal-deacon of S. Maria in Porticu in 1205, and Guala spent the next years in a variety of curial activities, including two legatine missions (to northern Italy in 1206 and to France in 1208-09), Sometime in 1210-11 lie was promoted to cardinal-priest of S.

El Renacimiento y la otra Espana Visi6n Cultural Soctoespiritual. By Jose C. Nieto. [Travaux d'Humanisme et Renaissance, No. CCCXV] (Geneva: Librairie Droz, S.A. 1997. Pp. 855.) In the last few decades, and continuing into the most recent years, the ambiguous and contested religious beliefs of such sixteenth-century figures as Contarini, Pole, Morone, and Carranza have been newly investigated by Spanish, Italian, British, and American scholars. From such research it has at least become clear how genuinely perplexing and dangerously uncertain were the precise bounds of Catholic orthodoxy in that century until the early stages of the Council of Trent in the mid-1540's. In the consequently difficult task of identifying the beliefs held at precise dates by such figures, the example of Juan de Valdes, who moved from Spain to Italy, has naturally emerged as important, and in understanding him scholars have been able to draw on the monograph, of 1970, by Jose Nieto. Furthermore, the last few decades have also seen a transformation of scholarly knowledge of the Spanish Inquisition, thanks to excellent, detailed studies by Spanish and other historians. A volume as vast as the one considered here might therefore be expected to prove of great value, as a contribution to the historical debate which continues about the range of religious beliefs in both Spain and Italy in the sixteenth century. Sadly, despite a considerable number of stimulating suggestions and observations in this monumental work, it proves to make little contact with that debate. Indeed, the terms of the debate seem to be virtually ignored, despite some reference in passing to relevant work on Pole and Carranza, though not Morone or Contarini. Nor does there appear to be any recognition of the extensive new research, much of it written in Spanish, on the Spanish Inquisition. Moreover, in all this vast number of pages no archival references would seem to be included as the result of the author's own researches, the few that do feature being apparently cited via the secondary literature. That secondary reading itself, in the extensive footnotes as opposed to the concluding bibliography, presents an extraordinarily dated picture, not only with regard to the Spanish Inquisition, for example, but also with reference to biblical scholarship for instance, despite references to twentiethcentury Catholic liberation theology. It is also alarming that, at least for events in sixteenth-century Europe outside Spain or involving more than Spain itself, amazing assertions have been left uncorrected, which cannot simply be errors of printing or proof-reading, such as the attribution of eight wives to Henry VIII or the statement that no English Catholics took refuge in Spain. …
El Renacimiento与la otra西班牙视觉文化社会精神。何塞·c·涅托著。[Travaux d'Humanisme and Renaissance, No. 5]日内瓦:德罗兹图书馆，1997。855页。)在过去的几十年里，并一直持续到最近几年，西班牙、意大利、英国和美国的学者对康塔里尼、波尔、莫罗内和卡兰萨等16世纪人物的模棱两可和有争议的宗教信仰进行了新的研究。从这些研究中，我们至少可以清楚地看到，直到1540年代中期天特会议的早期阶段，天主教正统的确切界限在那个世纪是多么令人困惑和危险的不确定。因此，在确定这些人物在精确日期所持有的信仰这一艰巨任务中，从西班牙移居意大利的胡安·德·巴尔德斯(Juan de Valdes)的例子自然变得重要起来，为了理解他，学者们能够借鉴何塞·涅托(Jose Nieto) 1970年的专著。此外，在过去的几十年里，由于西班牙和其他历史学家出色而详细的研究，西班牙宗教裁判所的学术知识也发生了转变。因此，像这里所讨论的这么大的一卷书可能会被证明具有巨大的价值，作为对16世纪西班牙和意大利宗教信仰范围的历史辩论的贡献。可悲的是，尽管在这部巨著中有相当多的令人振奋的建议和观察，但事实证明，它与那场辩论几乎没有联系。事实上，这场辩论的内容似乎几乎被忽略了，尽管有人顺便提到了关于波尔和卡兰萨的相关研究，但没有提到莫罗内或康塔里尼。似乎也没有任何承认广泛的新研究，其中大部分是用西班牙语写的，关于西班牙宗教裁判所。此外，在所有这些大量的页面中，没有档案参考文献似乎是作者自己研究的结果，少数的参考文献显然是通过二手文献引用的。次级阅读本身，在大量的脚注中，而不是最后的参考书目中，呈现出一幅非常过时的画面，不仅是关于西班牙宗教裁判所，比如，还有关于圣经的学术研究，比如，尽管提到了二十世纪的天主教解放神学。同样令人担忧的是，至少在16世纪欧洲发生的西班牙以外的事件或涉及西班牙以外的事件中，有一些惊人的断言没有得到纠正，这些断言不能简单地说是印刷或校对的错误，比如亨利八世有八个妻子，或者没有英国天主教徒在西班牙避难的说法。．..

Church Reform and Social Change in Eleventh-Century Italy: Dominic of Sora and His Patrons. By John Howe. [Middle Ages Series.] (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press. 1997. Pp. xxiii, 220. $37.50.) John Howe's study of the hagiographical dossier of Dominic of Sora (d. 1032) is a superb example of how the traditional strengths of medieval studies (close study and comparison of manuscripts, careful genealogical reconstruction) can be felicitously combined with new interpretive approaches. The result is a stimulating exploration of ecclesiastical reform in its social context based on a rigorously researched case study. The book opens with an evocative description of the rugged geographical and social terrain of the Abruzzi, Lazio, and Umbria in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries. After describing "Dominic's World," Howe sketches Dominic's career as a monk, a hermit, a reforming priest, a wandering preacher, a founder of churches and monasteries. The most interesting parts of the study are its central chapters analyzing "Dominic's Holiness," his "'Benedictine' Monastic System," and his "Patrons and Followers." Two closing chapters describe and analyze the undoing of the saint's life work and several appendices set out Howe's reconstruction of the hagiographical dossier, the genealogy of the Counts of Marsica, and their patronage relations with Monte Cassino. The author arrives at several important conclusions. Howe's evidence adds to the growing scholarly acknowledgment of well articulated reform ideals in the early eleventh century and to the relative unimportance of the papacy to the early formulation of the reform program."Before there was a center," Howe pithily concludes,"there was reform . . ." (p. 160). Howe's emphasis on the concrete character of Dominic's ecclesiastical work is also salutary. While historical narratives of the reform era continue to stress the rhetoric of the investiture contest, the theoretical foundations of papal authority, monastic spirituality, and the legal formulation of reform principles, Church Reform places the physical aspects of renewing religious life at the heart of its story. Dominic builds churches and monasteries with his own hands, melting lime for mortar and placing stones. He physically traverses a harsh and impoverished landscape, bringing healing and prayer to remote communities. Dominic ministers to sinful elites, instructing them to give their wealth to endow churches and monasteries. As Howe rightly notes, this "grubby accumulation of ecclesiastical property would make possible the intellectual and spiritual achievements of later generations" (p. 160). The concrete quality of Dominic's reform efforts also extends to his charisma. Rather than relying upon standard topoi of holiness and biblical allusions, Dominic's hagiographers locate his sanctity in the minute articulation of specific deeds.

Mazarin: The Crisis of Absolutism in France. By Geoffrey Treasure. (New York: Routledge.1995. Pp. xv,413. $39.95 clothbound; $22.95 paperback.) The period from the death of Louis XIII in 1643 to the beginning of the personal reign of Louis XIV in 1661 was one of the most tumultuous and complex in French history. It was as well the "age of Mazarin," the cardinal-minister who merged Italianate style with French statecraft, who increased French glory and reputation at the expense of revolts, social tension, and economic dislocation, and who has provoked passionate reactions from contemporaries and historians alike. The difficulties in understanding Mazarin's life and times mean that only accomplished historians-recently Georges Dethan and Pierre Goubert and now Geoffrey Treasure-could hope to offer satisfactory biographies of Giulio Mazarini. Treasure's mastery of seventeenth-century France, seen in earlier books, is evident in this rehabilitation of Mazarin, a man Treasure obviously admires but not to the extent of ignoring the first minister's shortcomings. For Treasure, Mazarin's greatness lies in his accomplishments, notably his success in diplomacy and his training of Louis XIV Diplomacy was his metier, beginning in Rome in the service of Pope Urban VIII and ending with the marriage of Louis XIV to Maria Teresa, Infanta of Spain. Mazarin's close attention to foreign affairs (he was his own foreign minister) centered on the Thirty Years' War and on Spain, France's great, but declining rival. Even during the worst days of the Fronde, Mazarin doggedly pursued his goals: defensible frontiers and a political hegemony to match French cultural and linguistic influence. His achievements include, of course, the Peace of Westphalia and the Peace of the Pyrenees. In increasing French territory and security, Mazarin followed closely the policies of Richelieu, who had recognized the papal diplomat's talents. Treasure sees Mazarin and Louis XIV as heirs to Richelieu's absolutism, although the Sun King proved to be more aggressive in foreign policy than the two cardinalministers. Treasure might have addressed the nature of absolutism, especially in light of the historiographical baggage that the term holds. Mazarin left to France not only political security, but also his magnificent library and paintings. Here was seen Italy's influence on France, for although Mazarin devoted himself-at the cost of his health-to the French monarchy, he remained Roman in his aesthetic sense, in his love of books, art, and music, to which one might add his sense of courtesy Motivated by personal ambition and by devotion to his casa (he gave support to his sisters and nieces) as well as by loyalty to France, to Anne of Austria, and to Louis XIV Mazarin fit easily into behavior and attitudes common to early modern elites. …
