The Ecclesiastical and Political History of the Popes of Rome - During the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries (Paperback)

This translation by Sarah Austin (1793 1867) of German historian Leopold von Ranke's work contributed significantly to early modern history and historiography. By some accounts 'the best living translator' of her time, Austin was a member of social circles that included Jeremy Bentham and J. S. Mill. Ranke (1795 1886) worked for most of his life at the University of Berlin, writing several histories covering the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries. Austin's translation recognises Ranke's importance to Western historiography: his methodology stressed the centrality of using primary sources and of the historian's objectivity. Ranke's history engages with a much wider area than his title suggests; indeed, his subject is 'the struggle between Catholicism and Protestantism, between authority and innovation', as Austin writes. Volume 3 analyses the period 1590 1630 and examines later significant events and includes an expansive appendix. These volumes will be of interest to early modern historians and historiographers alike.
