Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of 150-200 prose prophecies, sermons, and poems written primarily by Roman Catholic Abbot Joachim of Fiore and Anselm of Marsico from the late 12th century. These were highly influential in the development of medieval European religious and political thought and had a profound effect on the development of later apocalyptic and millenarian ideas. The prophecies range widely across spiritual and material concerns, including the perceived moral decay of the Church, the coming of a new and better spiritual age, and the arrival of a mysterious figure called the "Angelic Pope" who would lead the Church through a period of great tribulation. The book includes detailed linguistic analysis of the original Latin text, including the examination of numerical codes and symbols used by the authors. This allows for a deeper understanding of the medieval mindset and the role that these prophecies played in shaping the religious and political landscape of the time. Despite being written centuries ago, the themes of moral decay, spiritual longing, and the search for a better future resonate deeply with readers today, making this book a captivating and significant contribution to the study of medieval thought and its enduring influence.
