The Life and Times of Leo the Tenth is a biography written by D. P. Kidder about the life of Pope Leo X, who was the head of the Catholic Church from 1513 to 1521. The book provides a comprehensive account of Leo's life, including his early years, his rise to power within the Church, his political and religious policies, and his relationship with other prominent figures of his time, such as Martin Luther and Michelangelo. Kidder draws on a wide range of historical sources to present a detailed portrait of Leo's personality, beliefs, and actions, and to shed light on the complex political and religious landscape of the early 16th century. The book also explores the social and cultural context of Leo's era, including the Renaissance, the rise of humanism, and the development of printing and other technologies that transformed European society. Overall, The Life and Times of Leo the Tenth is a fascinating and informative account of one of the most influential figures in Catholic history, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Church or the Renaissance period.1850. Leo X or Giovanni de Medici was the second son of Lorenzo the Magnificent and from childhood was destined for the church. As the Pope from 1513 to 1521, he was an able administrator, but used his influence to benefit his family. He made Rome a center for European culture, but with his extravagant manner of living, he depleted the papal treasury. Leo X was also known as a patron for art in all forms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
