Dr. Maddison reconstructs Flaminio s life and analyses and translates samples of his poetry and devotional writings. The life of Marcantonio Flaminio mirrors the first half of the sixteenth century in Italy. Flaminio was a member of the dazzling courts of both Leo X and the Duke of Urbino. Then, as the finest lyric poet of the age, he was patronized by the church: but church patronage meant facing the dangers of the church, the sack of Rome and the Protestant schism. Flaminio became tainted . He joined Valdes circle in Naples and was co-author of the most popular and most controversial religious work of the century. Though he had been offered the secretaryship of the Council of Trent, he died in Cardinal Pole s house with the Chief Inquisitor at his bedside. / CONTENTS Introduction 1 Youth 2 First Freedom 3 Higher Studies 4 Rome in the 1520 s 5 In Giberti s Household 6 Independence and Pastorals 7 Naples and the Reform 8 Viterbo and Cardinal Pole 9 Trent 10 Rome Twenty Years After Bibliography Index.
