Hard cover book. The Life of Luther Author: M Michelet Translator: William Hazlitt Jr Publisher: Bell & Daldy & Co Date: 1872 Further Information: Green Cloth hardcover with lettering to spine in gilt. The spine has a Library label with an inscription.non-fictionThe Life of Luther, written by himself, is not a conventional biography but a compilation of Martin Luther's own words letters, table-talk, and passages drawn from his polemical and dogmatic writings selected, translated into French, arranged in roughly chronological order, and lightly stitched together with narrative commentary by Jules Michelet. It is a biography composed of a series of translations; except for the earliest years, which Luther could not narrate himself, the translator rarely needed to speak in his own voice. The English subject edition is Michelet's French compilation that was first published in Paris in 1835 as Mémoires de Luther, écrits par lui-même and rendered into English by William Hazlitt (1811–1893). The work traces Luther from his peasant origins and monastic life through his ordination, his journey to Rome, his "temptations" and inner spiritual crises, his break with the papacy, his marriage to the escaped nun Katharina von Bora, and his role at the centre of the Reformation, largely in his own recorded voice, framed by Michelet. Michelet composed the work almost entirely in 1828–29, publishing it in 1835. As the translator of Vico's Scienza Nuova, he felt a need at that time to move from theory to application, to study the general in the individual, history in biography, humanity in one man and Luther was his chosen vehicle: a man complete in thought and action, whose entire life, down to its smallest words and deeds, had been recorded.warrnambool, shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, shipwrecked-artefact, book, the life of luther, m michelet

Hard cover book. The Life and Pontificate of Leo The Tenth Vol 2 Author: William Roscoe Publisher: Henry G Bohn Date: 1846 Further Information: Green Cloth hardcover with lettering and patterning to spine in gilt. The spine has a Library label with an inscription.non-fictionThe Life and Pontificate of Leo the Tenth is William Roscoe's landmark biography of Giovanni de' Medici Pope Leo X (r. 1513–1521) second son of Lorenzo de' Medici "the Magnificent." It provides a detailed account of the life and reign of Pope Leo X, covering the political and religious climate of the period, the power struggles and controversies of his pontificate, and Leo's personal relationships with family and advisers. Roscoe drew on primary sources including papal documents, letters, and contemporary accounts, and supplied extensive footnotes and references. This second volume, the subject book, continues the narrative. Roscoe's work also traces Leo's patronage of scholarship and the arts he even had Sante Pagnini's Hebrew translation of the Bible transcribed and prepared for printing at his own expense against the backdrop of the Italian Wars, the rise of the Reformation, and Leo's controversial use of indulgences, the very practice that Martin Luther denounced in his 95 Theses.shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, warrnambool, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, shipwrecked-artefact, book, pattison collection, warrnambool library, warrnambool mechanics’ institute, ralph eric pattison, corangamite regional library service, warrnambool city librarian, mechanics’ institute library, victorian library board, warrnambool books and records, warrnambool children’s library, the life and pontificate of leo the tenth vol 2, william roscoe
