This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ...correspond with the boast. and the cardinals to reside in Rome. De Sade powerfully and in. controvertibly refutes this addition to the daring or the extravagance of Rienzi. Gibbon, however, who has rendered the rest of the citation in terms more abrupt and discourteous than he was warranted by any authority, copies the biographer's blunder, and sneers at Da Sade, as using arguments "rather of decency than of weight." Without wearying the reader with all the arguments of the learned abbe it may be sufficient to give the first two. 1st. All the other contemporaneous historians that have treated of this event, G. Villani, Hocsemius, the Vatican MSS., and other chroniclers, relating the citation of the emperor and electors, say nothing of that of the pope and cardinals; and the pope (Clement VI.), in his subsequent accusations of Rienzi, while very bitter against his citation of the emperor, is wholly silent on what would have been to the pontiff the much greater offence of citing himself and the cardinals. 2nd. The literal act of this citation, as published formally in the Lateran, is extant in Hocsemius (whence is borrowed, though not in all its length, the speech in the text of our present tale); and in this document the pope and his cardinals are not named in the summons. Gibbon's whole account of Rienzi is superficial and unfair. To the cold and sneering scepticism, which so often deforms the gigantic work of that great writer, allowing nothing for that sincere and urgent enthusiasm which, whether of liberty or religion, is the most common parent of daring action, the great Roman seems but an ambitious and fantastic madman. In Gibbon's hands what would Cromwell have been? what Vane? what Hampden? The pedant Julian, with his dirty person and...

Seller's Description:
L. W. Zeigle. Very Good. No Dust Jacket. Brown cloth covered boards. Gilt spine titles. Blind-stamped emblem on front. Light wear, corners and spine tips rubbed. Two small rubs on front. Bindings square and tight. Text clean light toning. 7.75 inches tall. 637 pages. A captivating tale of a hero of the Italian Renaissance, B-L's novel is a typical Victorian work-flowery, wordy, and melodramatic. Set in 14th-century Rome against the backdrop of the Guelph-Ghibelline conflict, the story details Rienzi's tumultuous rise and fall. Though the writing may feel overwrought to modern readers, the plot is memorable, featuring intertwined love stories and a villain's downfall. It's easy to see why B-L was popular in his time and why Wagner chose this story for his first successful opera, still occasionally performed today. [Good Reads]
