      abstract = {It was the splendor--and the scandal--of the age, the  defining event of the high Renaissance. In 1506, the  ferociously ambitious Renaissance Pope Julius II tore down  the most sacred shrine in Europe--the millennium-old St.  Peter's Basilica built by the Emperor Constantine over the  apostle's grave--to build a better basilica. Construction  of the new St. Peter's spanned two centuries, embroiled 27  popes, and consumed the genius of the greatest artists of  the age--Michelangelo, Bramante, Raphael, and Bernini. As  the basilica rose, modern Rome rose with it, as glorious as  the city of the Caesars. But the cost was unimaginable: the  new basilica provoked the Protestant Reformation, dividing  the Christian world for all time.--From publisher  description.},
