The Borgia Pope, Alexander The Sixth by Orestes Ferrara is a comprehensive biography of one of the most controversial figures in the history of the Catholic Church. Alexander VI, born Rodrigo Borgia, was elected Pope in 1492 and his reign was marked by scandal and corruption. Ferrara delves into the life of Alexander VI, exploring his rise to power, his family background, and his many mistresses and illegitimate children. The book also covers his political maneuvering, including his alliances with various European powers, his conflicts with other powerful families in Italy, and his role in the Spanish Inquisition. Ferrara provides a detailed account of the papacy during Alexander VI's reign, including the construction of the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Library. The book also examines the legacy of Alexander VI, including his impact on the Catholic Church and his portrayal in popular culture. Overall, The Borgia Pope, Alexander The Sixth is a fascinating and informative look at one of the most infamous figures in the history of the papacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
