Purchase options and add-ons

Lorenzo Valla (1407–1457) was the leading theorist of the Renaissance humanist movement and the author of major works on Latin style, scholastic logic, and other topics. In On the Donation of Constantine he uses new philological methods to attack the authenticity of the most important document justifying the papacy’s claims to temporal rule, in a brilliant analysis that is often seen as marking the beginning of modern textual criticism. Widely translated throughout Europe during the Reformation, the work was placed on the Church’s Index of Prohibited Books. This volume provides a new translation with introduction and notes by G. W. Bowersock, commissioned for the I Tatti Renaissance Library, along with a translation of the Donation of Constantine document itself.

    For all those who may have wondered, 'when did religions or churches start to get so cocky about running things in THIS life?', this book is your answer.
    In this book you will learn that the so called temporal authority of all churches started with the first church, and that attempt was a fake, a forgery, a fraud. Read Valla's "The Donation of Constantine", it is an easy read for a book written hundreds of years ago.

    Valla refutation of the Donation of Constantine is an outstanding short book to read. It uncovers the forgery of the so called Donation of Constantine to the pope Sylvester I. Valla uses his outstanding philological and historical skills to uncover one of the most historical lies of the Catholic Church.

    This negative review relates solely to the shoddy physical quality of the paperback. I find it hard to believe that Harvard University Press would produce so cheap a product. The paper is mass market quality with pages that separate from the glue binding on reading. I assume the hardback book is better since other I Tatti Renaissance Library books I have purchased have been quality products.
