Throughout the European Middle Ages, the death of high-ranking prelates was usually interwoven with violent practices. During Empty Sees, mobs ransacked bishops' and popes' properties to loot their movable goods. Eventually, in the later Middle Ages, they also plundered the goods of newly-elected popes, and the cells of the Conclave. This book follows and analyzes the history of this violence, using a methodology akin to cultural anthropology, with concepts such as liminal periodization. It contends that pillaging was attached to ecclesiastical interregna, and the nature of ecclesiastical...

With the arrival of Clement V in 1309, seven popes ruled the Western Church from Avignon until 1378. Joelle Rollo-Koster traces the compelling story of the transplanted papacy in Avignon, the city the popes transformed into their capital. Through an engaging blend of political and social history, she argues that we should think more positively about the Avignon papacy, with its effective governance, intellectual creativity, and dynamism. It is a remarkable tale of an institution growing and defending its prerogatives, of people both high and low who produced and served its needs, and of the...

Rollo May challenges the idea that "mental health is living without anxiety," believing it is essential to being human. He explores how it can relieve boredom, sharpen sensibilities, and produce the tension necessary to preserve human existence. May sees a link extending from anxiety to intelligence, creativity, and originality, and guides the reader away from destructive ways to positive ways of dealing with anxiety. He convincingly proposes that anxiety can impel personal change, as it is only by confronting and coping with it that self-realization can occur.

Scriviamo con tante cose: con la testa, con le mani, con gli occhi, con la penna e il PC, ma prima di tutto, nei brani che presentiamo in questo nuovo libro, diamo spazio al cuore. Il cuore, non quello che fa rima con amore come nelle classiche canzonette sanremesi, ma il cuore come sede dell'anima, delle emozioni profonde, della gioia e del dolore, della fierezza e della vergogna, della rabbia e della serenita. Le emozioni sono spesso contraddittorie e ci trasportano verso luoghi inattesi, a volte fantastici, a volte brutalmente reali. Il lavoro che abbiamo fatto ci spinge a condividere,...
