Descrizione

The life of cardinal Tarlati, spanning over the second half of the 14th century, shows a threefold course of action, both political, ecclesiastical and cultural. In politics he defended the lordship of the Tarlati in Alta Valtiberina, whom he tried to protect, in vain, from Florence by forming an alliance with Siena, within the context of the submission of the Comune of Arezzo to Florence (1384-1385). In the college of cardinals, he was a mediator with Pope Urban VI, but ended up clashing with him and had to flee, finally pledging allegiance to Pope Clement VII in 1388. In Avignon he was the promoter of a circle of humanists among which the names of Nicolas de Clamanges, Jean de Montreuil and Jean Muret stand out. Thanks to the available sources, we can reconstruct, at least partly, the cardinal’s familia and its financial resources. The analysis of his literary activity, as shown by his correspondence in Latin, reveals a skilled writer, whose Ciceronian style served as a model in France.
