Synopsis
Excerpt from La Librairie des Papes d'Avignon, Sa Formation, Sa Composition, Ses Catalogues (1316-1420), Vol. 1: D'Après les Registres de Comptes Et d'Inventaires des Archives Vaticanes
Quoi encore? Innocent VI et ses expédients financiers; le pieux Urbain V, dévoilant en quelque façon jusque dans ses comptes, moins régulierement tenus, ses hésitations et ses revirements d'0pinion; Grégoire XI, qui sut employer a un grand dessein la ténacité et l'esprit de suite des Beaufort; enfin les deux antipapes, le premier défenseur aveuglé d'une cause perdue, dont l'inde lence explique peut - être la persistante bonne foi, le second plus misérable encore que coupable dans son étroit entêtement. Sur les démarches sur les mobiles sur les ressorts, sur les secrets, sur l'intimité de ces hommes, divers par les talents et par la vertu, mais auxquels le prestige d'une immuable tradition con servait eu définitive la direction de l'eur0pe chétienne, les Ca meralia pratiquent des ouvertures répétées, et le jour qui pénè tre Ies révèle ou les fait mieux voir tels qu'ils furent.
