This author analyzes the Renaissance rebuilding of Saint Peter's basilica as a mirror of the political fortunes of the papacy. The project to revitalize the basilica as the center of a resurgent Church proceeded in step with the goal to reassert papal authority across the Italian peninsula, and to extend that authority to the Eastern Mediterranean by mounting a crusade to recover the Holy Land. By embedding references to the Holy Land in the fabric of the new basilica, the architecture itself became the expressive voice of the papacy's political agenda. Peter's tomb provided the fulcrum of a program to transform the basilica, and all of Rome, into a new Jerusalem. As introduced by Nicholas V (1447-1455) and refined by Julius II (1503-1513), these ideas were translated into physical form by Donato Bramante. Drawing inspiration from innovations developed elsewhere in Italy, and with heightened sensitivity for the expressive power of ancient and medieval architecture, he forged a new vocabulary that would transform the entire subsequent history of the built environment. This book is about how that process of transformation was rooted in papal ideology.

"Building the Kingdom" examines how Giannozzo Manetti (1396-1459), by interpreting the great architectural projects of his day within historical, literary, and spiritual contexts, articulated their relevance for his contemporaries as cultural paradigms of the Early Italian Renaissance. Manetti, wealthy, learned, devout, and politcally active, was perhaps the most admired lay thinker of his generation, a leader within the new intellectual currents of his native Florence and prominent in Rome at the court of Pope Nicholas V (1447-1455). Manetti's detailed accounts both of the consecration of Florence Cathedral in 1439 ("De secularibus et pontificalibus pompis" [Concerning the Secular and Pontifical Parades]) and of the ambitious building projects planned by Nicholas for a revival of papal splendor in Rome (book 2 of his "Life of Nicholas V Supreme Pontiff") are among the most elaborate architectural ekphrases of the fifteenth century. In these, he surpasses his better known rival, Leon Battista Alberti. These important Latin texts are presented here in new critical editions, with English translations and commentaries, preceded by chapters situating them within Manetti's other writings, his vast redaing, and his historical moment. A close reading of the texts, coupled with an in-depth examination of the sites described and the ceremonies conducted there, shows how Manetti's distinctive fusion of Scholastic and Humanist ideas became authoritative for an Early Renaissance understanding of the cultural and spiritual power of buildings.
