Sinopsis

''The History of Cardinal Alberoni: Chief Favorite of Their Catholic Majesties and Universal Minister of the Spanish Monarchy'' is a biographical account of the life and career of Giulio Alberoni, an Italian cardinal who rose to prominence as a trusted advisor to the Spanish monarchy in the early 18th century. Written by Jean Rousset de Missy, a Swiss historian and journalist, the book traces Alberoni?s rise to power, his political maneuverings and alliances, and his eventual downfall and exile. Through extensive research and analysis of primary sources, including letters, official documents, and contemporary accounts, Missy offers a detailed portrait of Alberoni as a complex and controversial figure who played a pivotal role in shaping the politics and culture of his time. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the Spanish court, as well as the broader political and social context of Europe in the early modern period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
