The Life of Pope Pius II: As Illustrated by Pinturicchio's Frescoes in the Piccolomini Library at Siena is a historical book written by George William Kitchin and first published in 1831. The book provides a detailed account of the life of Pope Pius II, also known as Enea Silvio Piccolomini, a Renaissance-era pope who played a significant role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of his time. Kitchin's book is unique in that it uses Pinturicchio's frescoes in the Piccolomini Library at Siena as a primary source of information about the pope's life. The frescoes depict various scenes from Pius II's life, including his election as pope, his diplomatic missions, and his efforts to promote humanism and the arts. Through a careful analysis of the frescoes and other historical sources, Kitchin provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of Pius II's life and legacy. The book covers topics such as Pius II's early life, his rise to power in the Catholic Church, his policies and reforms as pope, and his impact on the Renaissance movement. Overall, The Life of Pope Pius II is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church, the Renaissance, or the life of one of the most influential popes of the 15th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
