Il nipotismo di Roma, or, The History of the Popes Nephews,Gregorio Leti 54001 [Subtitle: from the time of Sixtus IV. to the death of the last Pope, Alexander VII] [Tr.: William Aglionby] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/4/0/0/54001 ] [Files: 54001-0.txt; 54001-h.htm] For those wishing to know: this 1669 book is a rather confused disapproval of the way the medival Popes had brought their nephews into powerful positions when they became Pope, and that many of those nephews used their position to acquire great wealth etc. for their families (which of course were also the families of the Popes). It's not systematic and at one stage Leti decides to go backwards in history and of course that fails when he's trying to tell the history. Leti is not exactly anti-Papal, and even justifies why the Popes needed to bring in their nephews, but the whole isn't a glowing testimony to the state of the church. All the best, David, Damp England, but the rain has stopped now there's puddles everywhere
