Description: "Reginald Pole's On the Unity of the Church, in the context of its 1536 setting, is a personal appeal for the spiritual salvation of his dear friend Henry VIII, and a strong defense of papal supremacy. The fame of the monarch to whom the appeal was directed, and the character of the man addressing the appeal, mark this work with intrinsic and extrinsic relevancy both for any contemporary aggiornamento, and the insight it provides for an almost forgotten page of Tudor history."--Preface.
