Arnold Of Brescia: A Tragedy (1846)

By Gio Batt Niccolini and Giovanni Batista Niccolini

Book Overview

Arnold of Brescia: A Tragedy is a play written by Italian author Giovanni Batista Niccolini in 1846. The play is a historical tragedy that recounts the life and death of Arnold of Brescia, an Italian monk and political radical who lived in the 12th century. Arnold was a leading figure of the reform movement that sought to separate the Church from secular power and return to the original teachings of Christianity. He was eventually excommunicated by the Pope and executed by the Holy Roman Emperor. Niccolini's play explores the themes of religious and political power, rebellion, and martyrdom. It is a powerful and thought-provoking work that delves into the complexities of faith, politics, and human nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
