1590 POPES Lives Platina Catholic Church Sacchi Italian Panvinio Venice Medici

Bartolomeo Sacchi, or Platina, was a 15th-century Italian humanist who is most remembered for his book 'Vitae Pontificum,' or 'Lives of the Popes.' 'Lives' was an important work dedicated to the papacy of important Catholic popes, but Platina wrote the work through the lens of Roman history with obvious themes of paganism. This book was the first systematic handbook on papal history and praises the punishment of heresy throughout the Catholic Church.

This 1590 edition of Platina was published in Venice by Girolamo Polo. This edition is notable for being revised and edited by Onofrio Panvinio.

1541 Catholic LAW Decretals Pope Boniface VIII Gregory IX Medieval Judaism Jews

Pope Boniface VIII was a 13th-century Catholic Pope who is best remembered for his contributions to the Sixth Book of Decretals. In this decretal, Boniface continues the original five decretals established by Gregory IX which helped teach Catholic canon and church law and more importantly, gave power to the pope over the Church.
Originally written in 1234, this Catholic doctrine included many anti-Jewish sentiments, in particular the "perpetua servitus iudaeorum" stating that all Jews would be servants until the end times. Because of this, Jews were suppressed from having any sort of direct influence in political or ecclesiastical decisions for centuries.
