- Lives of the popes through his own time, by Bartholomeus Sacchi of Platina, fourteenth century Italian humanist and historian, and for a period, Vatican librarian. Considered valuable as a historical source for contemporary events, this work helps to "set the stage" for the academic, religious, and social upheavals of the next century.
