Mystics and Heretics in Italy at the End of the Middle Ages

""Mystics and Heretics in Italy at the End of the Middle Ages"" is a scholarly work by Emile Gebhart that explores the religious movements and figures that emerged in Italy during the late Middle Ages. The book focuses on the mystical and heretical movements that challenged the established Catholic Church, including the Franciscan and Dominican orders, and the rise of the Spiritual Franciscans and the Cathars. Gebhart examines the lives and teachings of key figures such as St. Francis of Assisi, St. Catherine of Siena, and Girolamo Savonarola, as well as the impact of their ideas on Italian society and culture. The book also delves into the political and social context of the time, including the conflicts between the papacy and secular rulers, and the influence of the Renaissance on religious thought. Overall, ""Mystics and Heretics in Italy at the End of the Middle Ages"" provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the religious and cultural landscape of Italy during this pivotal period in history.1922.
