San Carlo Borromeo: Catholic Reform Ecclesiastical Politics in the Second Half of the Sixteenth Century

by John Headley, John Tomaro (Editor)

Reflecting the work of a 1984 international conference at the Folger Shakespeare Library, this collective study of Carlo Borromeo goes beyond the image of the saint to reveal a commanding figure who sought to extend his Milanese experience of provincial reform to Rome, to the Curia, and to the Catholic world at large. Illustrated.
