Cities Of God: The
Religion Of The Italian Communes
by
Augustine Thompson
"We know much about the Italian city states—the 'communes'—of
the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. But historians have focused on their political
accomplishments to the exclusion of their religious life, going so far as to call them
'purely secular contrivances.' When
religion is considered, the subjects are usually saints, heretics, theologians, and religious
leaders, thereby ignoring the vast majority of those who lived in the communes. In Cities of
God, Augustine Thompson gives a voice to the forgotten majority —orthodox lay people and
those who ministered to them."
