      This is a text and translation with introduction, notes, and index, of the Epistola ad Mahomatem II ( Epistle to Mohammed II) of Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini (Pope Pius II, 1458-1464). Written ca. 1460, the goal of the epistle is to persuade Mohammed II, who had conquered Constantinople in 1453, not to press his attack on the West and to persuade him of the benefits of converting to Christianity. The epistle is an eloquent presentation of humanistic values and an interesting document of contemporary, occidental attitudes towards Islam and the Moslem religion.

      Das Buch enthält eine von Nello Vian, Bibliothekar der Vatikanischen Bibliothek, besorgte Auswahl von Briefen aus allen Lebensepochen des Heiligen: Briefe an Verwandte, an einfache Leute, an Geistliche, an Behördenmitglieder und an hohe und höchste kirchliche Würdenträger; Briefe, die kleine und große, materielle und geistliche Dinge des Alltags oder auch wichtige Angelegenheiten der Kirche betreffen. Besser als Beschreibungen offenbaren die meist kürzeren Schriftstücke unmittelbar die väterliche Güte und herzliche Menschlichkeit des großen Papstes, seine tiefe Demut, aber auch seinen Sinn für die Erhabenheit der ihm anvertrauten Ämter. Sie zeugen für seine Sorge um den Glauben und die Ehre der Kirche. Als lebendiger Ausdruck seiner reichen Persönlichkeit bilden sie eine notwendige, ausgezeichnete Ergänzung der umfassendsten, ebenfalls im Sarto Verlag neu aufgelegten Biographie des Heiligen von H. Dal Gal.

      Briefe des heiligen P. Pius X.
    • Enea Silvio Piccolomini (1405–1464), einer der bedeutendsten Humanisten und Diplomaten der Frührenaissance, wurde 1458 zum Papst gewählt. Als Pius II. diktierte er seine Memoiren (Commentarii), eine bislang in deutscher Sprache nicht veröffentlichte Geschichtsquelle ersten Ranges, die für den geschichtsinteressierten Leser vergnüglich zu lesen ist. Oft zensierte Details zum Konklave von 1458 oder die Begegnung des Piccolomini-Papstes mit Graf Dracula zählen zu den vielen Episoden, die den Leser in die faszinierende Welt der Renaissance mitnehmen.
