This is a study of papal bureaucracy during the Renaissance, a time
when the Pope was among the most powerful of European rulers. The
men who ran the Renaissance Papacy were an important and talented
group, including among their number luminaries of Italian humanist
literature and scholarship, distinguished church leaders, and
statesmen of far-reaching influence. Based on extensive research in
Italian archives, The Pope's Men explores the bureaucracy of an
early modern state, and the patronage network which permeated and
in many ways controlled it. Peter Partner sets the ruling elite of
the Renaissance Papacy in its social and political context, and
analyses its composition and the ways it operated. He shows the
struggle for power in Rome among the competing Italian regions and
families. This is a fascinating and scholarly study of men who
could be scholars, poets, thinkers, and patrons of the arts, as
well as servants of a state of great spiritual and temporal power.
