Paolo Sarpi

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Sarpi, Paolo 

Born Aug. 14, 1552, in Venice; died there Jan. 14, 1623. Venetian scholar and political figure. Monk; doctor of theology.

Besides theology, Sarpi studied medicine, physics, and mathematics. He was appointed counsellor on theological questions to the government of the Republic of Venice in 1606, at the height of the conflict between Venice and Pope Paul V. He joined in the struggle against the papacy, defending the state’s independence from the church and denouncing the pope and the Jesuits. Sarpi wrote a history of the Council of Trent, in which he exposed the misdeeds of the papacy. Sarpi based the work on dispatches of Venetian ambassadors, diaries, letters, accounts of the council’s participants, and other valuable sources.

In essence, the book is a highly original treatment of the response of Venice's political elite, largely informed by the writings and counsel of Paolo Sarpi, to the famous Interdict of 1606-07 and its aftermath, against the backdrop of both the restraint and promotion of information and communication in the government, political life, and physical city of Venice.
For just as Bad Medicine is grounded in evidence, so too was his doctoral thesis on Paolo Sarpi, a minor Venetian theolgian and contemporary of Galileo.
However, if you're not a label freak and love a good bargain, try the other side of the cathedral at via Torino, corso Vercelli, corso XXII Marzo, corso di Porta Romana, via Paolo Sarpi and corso Buenos Aires.
