Description:Fortunately, there appeared a few years ago (in 1844 and the second edition 1851) a work in German of the illustrious life of Cardinal Ximenez de Cisneros written by Dr. Hefele, in a truly Catholic spirit. This is the biography translation of which is now presented to English readers. Dr. Hefele’s work is remarkable for depth of research, clearness of method, elegance of style. He is enthusiastically devoted to his subject, and not without solid grounds. Hence, the public and private life of Ximenez is described with admirable skill and judgment, both as a religious, a prelate, and a statement. Not only has the author made use of the labors of preceding biographers, but he has also drawn abundant materials and the valuable letters of Peter Martyr; from the historians Mariana, Pulgar, Ferreras, Zurita, Wadding, Brancas, Prescott, Florez, Marineo Siculo, etc. The transactions of the Royal Academy of History, embracing the valuable communications of Muñoz and Clemencin, have also furnished their share. The history of the foundation of the university in Alcalá, of the Complutensian Polyglot Bible, and the conquest of Oran, forms brilliant episodes in the life of the Cardinal; while the historical notice on the Inquisition being fully political rather than religious, though considered incorrect in my respects by the Spaniards themselves, is nevertheless worthy of praise, on account of the satisfactory manner in which he expose the lies and inaccuracies of Llorente, who admitted himself to burning untold numbers of documents from the Inquisition.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
