The Life of Cola Di Rienzo

MST 18. 1975. 166 pp. ISBN 978–0–88844–267–3 • $14.95

The Life of Cola di Rienzo is an anonymous eye-witness biography of Cola di Rienzo, a romantic visionary who led a popular revolution against the rapacious and tyrannical barons of medieval Rome. It vividly describes Cola’s brief, tragi-comic reign as “Tribune” of a “restored Roman republic” in 1347, his subsequent pilgrimage to the imperial court at Prague and the papal court at Avignon, his return to Rome as Papal Senator in 1354, and his gruesome death at the hands of a Roman mob two months after his restoration.

Thomas’ short treatise De ente et essentia (On Being and Essence) is a classic text on the meaning and mystery of being. One of his early works, it was written before Thomas became Master of Theology at Paris in March 1256, and thus does not contain the architectonic metaphysical and theological structures of the Summa theologiae and the Summa contra Gentiles.
