About the Book

English summary: Renaissance popes and their entourage cheerfully discarded their vows of chastity, poverty and humility to engage in the practice of forbidden pleasures and in displays of insolent lust, thus embraced the dark aspects of Greek and Egyptian paganism. Disguised as Turks or as Caesar for the carnival, and as owners of brothels, they shamelessly indulged in unrestrained sexual acts with women, men, slaves and children. Hosts of sumptuous banquets, greedy for jewels, these popes committed every "capital sin" imaginable. This book, featuring many of the most scandalous examples, shows what led these high princes of the Church to adopt such behaviours by describing them within the context of this lavish society. French description: Les amours des dieux de l'Olympe ornes d'inscriptions en lettres arabes! Voila ce qui est grave dans le bronze de la porte de Saint-Pierre de Rome. On ne peut trouver plus surprenante et moins catholique entree en matiere des moeurs de la cour pontificale a la Renaissance. Les papes de cette epoque, ainsi que leur entourage, ont en effet allegrement jete aux orties leurs voeux de chastete, de pauvrete et d'humilite pour s'engager dans la pratique des plaisirs defendus et dans l'etalage d'un luxe insolent, ainsi que dans les voies scabreuses du paganisme grec et egyptien. Deguises en Turcs ou en Cesar pour le carnaval, proprietaires de maisons de plaisir, se livrant sans pudeur a une sexualite debridee avec femmes, hommes, esclaves ou enfants, amphitryons de banquets somptueux, avides de bijoux, ces papes ont commis tous les peches capitaux . Riche d'exemples des plus scandaleux, ce livre montre pourquoi de tels comportements ont pu etre adoptes par des hauts princes de l'Eglise, en les reinserant dans le contexte de cette societe fastueuse.Anne Kraatz est Docteur de l'EPHE. Elle est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur l'histoire du commerce, du textile et de la mode, dont certains ont ete traduits en plusieurs langues.
