520 3 |a This contribution charts a new pathway in the correspondence between Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini (1405-64) and Juan de Carvajal (1399?-1469) by focusing primarily on the relationship between the two men.

This article enriches our understanding of a critical moment in church history, sharpens our grasp of the roles of both Piccolomini and Carvajal, and suggests new ways that humanism contributed to the fifteenth-century church. © 2019, (publisher Name).
