Book Synopsis
Based on popular leaflets, diaries, civic chronicles, and iconographic sources, this book explores the expression of a culture in which nature, religion, and politics formed a unified system with a uniform code of interpretation. It connects the decline of prophecy in Italy with the end of the Italian wars.

Trade Review
"This book presents an excellent, painstaking reconstruction of the 'culture of prophecy' in Italy during the traumatic period of foreign invasion and religious schism between 1480 and 1530... This erudite, carefully argued book is dense and compact, but reads extremely well... This book provides a brilliant example of how the study of popular culture can reinvigorate traditional historical narrative."--The Sixteenth Century Journal
