In The Days Of The Councils is a historical biography written by Eustace J. Kitts that provides a detailed account of the life and times of Baldassare Cossa, who later became Pope John Twenty-Third. The book covers the tumultuous period of the late 14th and early 15th centuries, which was marked by political and religious upheaval in Europe. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the Councils of Constance and Pisa, which were pivotal events in the history of the Catholic Church. These councils were convened to resolve the schism that had split the church into two factions, each with its own pope. Baldassare Cossa played a significant role in these councils as a cardinal and later as a candidate for the papacy. The book also delves into the political and social climate of the time, including the Hundred Years' War, the rise of the Medici family, and the Black Death. Kitts' book is well-researched and provides a nuanced portrait of Cossa, who is often portrayed as a controversial figure in the history of the papacy. The author examines Cossa's motivations and actions, as well as the political and religious context in which he operated. The book is an engaging read for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church, the Renaissance, or medieval Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
