  Explores the indissoluble link that had developed between the papacy and bankers, illuminating how the Apostolic Chamber, increasingly in need of money, could not meet its debts, without farming out the rights to future income. This title looks at the web of financial connections that bound together Florentine and Genoese bankers with the papacy.
