Summary
The fifteenth century was a critical juncture for the College of Cardinals. They were accused of prolonging the exile in Avignon and causing the schism. At the councils at the beginning of the period their very existence was questioned. This book focuses on a relatively unknown period for Renaissance art history and the history of Rome
