Synopsis
The Life And Times Of Rienzi by Jean-Antoine Du Cerceau. This historical narrative chronicles Cola Rienzi, a 14th-century Roman tribune who rises from obscurity to power through eloquence and symbolic displays, and who attempts to restore the Roman Republic only to be swept up in faction, conspiracy, and tyranny. The work traces Rienzi’s ascent, his use of popular credulity to create a “good establishment,” his clashes with the great noble houses such as the Colonna and Ursini, and his enjoyments of justice and severity as he consolidates authority. It also covers his diplomatic efforts with Avignon and the papal legates, the expansion of his influence over Romagna and much of Italy, and the subsequent series of revolts that lead to his downfall. Chronicling his capture, trial, and execution, the book presents Rienzi alternately as a reformer and a despot, set against the tumultuous politics of medieval Italy and the papacy.
