Recenzii
Review of the hardback: 'Money and the Rise of the Modern Papacy is clearly structured and generally lucidly written, with a refreshing absence of academic jargon. John F. Pollard has much of interest to say about the abilities and personalities of the popes concerned, many of whom he astutely reassesses. … this is indeed, as its publishers claim, a 'pioneering study'. The Times Literary Supplement
Review of the hardback: 'Italian banking scandals of the late 1970s involving the Vatican made the history of its finances a hot topic of enquiry. A genuinely scholarly study in English has hitherto been lacking, however, … John Pollard's work gives the first adequate account of Peter's Pence in English and explores the Vatican's investment strategies to an unprecedented degree. It is prefaced by a thoughtful account of the development of the modern Papacy, which, by virtue of its analytical thrust as well as its incorporation of recent Italian research, is a valuable complement to the more textbook-style accounts of Owen Chadwick … and Frank J. Coppa … Pollard eruditely explores the dichotomy between the Church's social teaching and the financial practices of the Vatican: its avid pursuit of profit and its lack of concern as to where its investments were going.' Journal of Modern Italy
Review of the hardback: 'Any scholar with an interest in the modern Church or Italian history should read this book, but even fans of Dan Brown might enjoy it.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History
