Ferdinand Gregorovius (1821-1891) was a celebrated German medieval historian. After studying philosophy & theology at the University of Knigsberg, Gregorovius moved to Rome in 1852, & became immersed in researching the medieval history of the city. First published in 1872, his monumental study of medieval Rome was the first modern account of the subject, & became the standard reference. This English translation of the fourth German edition appeared between 1894 & 1902. In his work Gregorovius discusses the political, social & cultural changes in the city from 400 to 1534, making extensive use of primary sources. Gregorovius also includes the Renaissance in his study, showing how medieval thought & events influenced political & cultural life & thought during the Renaissance. Volume 5, Part 2 covers the period 1260-1305 & examines the effects on the city of the struggles between the Guelf & Ghibelline parties.
