Biographie De Fra Paolo Sarpi ... [French]

By Aurelio Bianchi-Giovini

Biographie De Fra Paolo Sarpi, written by Aurelio Angelo Bianchi-Giovini, delves into the life and times of the influential Venetian theologian, jurist, and scientist Paolo Sarpi (1552-1623). This biography, originally published in 1863, provides a detailed account of Sarpi's intellectual contributions, his involvement in the political affairs of the Venetian Republic, and his complex relationship with the Catholic Church during the Counter-Reformation.

Bianchi-Giovini meticulously explores Sarpi's early life, his entry into the Servite Order, and his rapid ascent as a respected scholar. The book highlights Sarpi's key role in defending Venice's sovereignty against papal authority, particularly during the Interdict crisis of 1606-1607. It examines his theological writings, his historical analysis of the Council of Trent, and his impact on the intellectual climate of his era, offering readers a comprehensive portrait of a pivotal figure in Italian history and religious thought.
