The Greatest of the Borgias, (Science and culture series) by Margaret Yeosecond printing printed in 1936. Complete with dust cover and in extremely good condition.
We think times are tough today? How'd you like to have a pope and his mistress as your great-grandparents, another notorious Borgia as your grandfather, and a grandmother who fled to a Franciscan monastery? Margaret Yeo does a fantastic job describing the times and the spirituality of this Borgia who served in the court of the Holy Roman Emperor, married a holy wife, raised children, lived up to his nobility...and then corresponded with the founder of the Jesuits for advice as to how best to serve God....Well worth reading.
