  1. Introduction
  2.  
  3. Julius II (Giuliano della Rovere, b. 1443–d. 1513, pope 1503–1513) is best known as the “warrior pope” who used warfare to accomplish his ends of gaining control of the Papal States after the alienation of sections to Cesare Borgia, the incursions and confiscation of the Venetians, and the rebellion of local lords. His reversal of alliances in the War of the League of Cambrai (also called the War of the Holy League in its later phases [NB: once the alliances were reversed in 1509, the new papal alliance was called the Holy League and the war continued]) earned him the hatred of his former allies, the calling of a Church council to distract him, and, in the end, the reward of an expansion of the Papal States to include Reggio-Modena and Parma-Piacenza. He is thus hailed as the second founder of the Papal States. While he temporarily succeeded in driving the French from Italy, that achievement came at the price of entrenching the Spanish. While he supported Church reform in some areas, he devoted most of his attention to political issues. He also hired the leading artists of his day to glorify papal authority in Rome.

  5. General Overviews
  6.  
  7. Historians such as Ivan Cloulas and Christine Shaw see Julius II as primarily the “papa terribile” who used warfare to accomplish his goals (Cloulas 1990 and Shaw 1993). Their accounts, based on archives full of diplomatic correspondence, emphasize Julius as political figure. Shaw 1993 shows that as a cardinal he did not have the overwhelming influence on his uncle, Sixtus IV, or his ally Innocent VIII that other historians assert. Rodocanachi 1928 is more interested in Julius II as a cultural figure, while Pastor 1891–1953 tries to examine all aspects of his pontificate.

  11. An archivally based study of Julius II’s relation to his uncle, Sixtus IV, his influence over Innocent VIII, his rivalry with Alexander VI, and his three illegitimate daughters. Cloulas sees Julius II as a man who frequently used force to achieve his ends of controlling the Papal States and freeing Italy of foreign powers. He also gives attention to Julius’s private life, administration, renovation of Rome, and patronage of artists and architects. Translated into Italian as Giulio II by Anna Rosa Gumina (Rome: Salerno Editrice, 1993).

  15. Volume 6 is dedicated in good part to the pontificate of Julius II, treating him primarily as the warrior ruler of the Papal States and patron of Michelangelo and Raphael, but also as an ecclesiastical administrator. Volume 6 was originally published as Geschichte der Päpste seit dem Ausgang des Mittelalters, Vol. 3, part 2 (Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany: Herder, 1895).

  23. A detailed study of the career of Giuliano della Rovere (Julius II), with a fresh evaluation of his role as cardinal adviser to his uncle, Sixtus IV, and ally Innocent VIII, as an enemy of Alexander VI, and as a supporter of Pius III. Shaw concentrates on him as a political figure who used force to defend papal prerogatives and forward his efforts to free Italy of foreign control. There is little here on Julius II as head of the Church.

  63. For a detailed account by contemporaries of Julius II’s campaigns to impose papal authority on rebellious vassals, see Grassi 1886 and Guicciardini 1929. Among the modern but older and still reliable studies of Julius II as head of the Papal States is Brosch 1878, which is based on printed and archival primary sources. Seneca 1962 surveys the troubled relationship between Julius II and Venice from the beginning of his pontificate. Gilbert 1980 shows how Julius II helped Agostino Chigi, the papal banker, to make a complicated loan to Venice that rescued that city in its moment of dire need following its defeat at the Battle of Agnadello.

  85. The Renovation of Rome
  86.  
  87. The transformation of the city of Rome under Julius II is examined in Partner 1976. D’Amico 1983 studies the special Roman humanism that emerged there, while Stinger 1985 claims that Julius II consciously imitated Julius Caesar. Julius II’s project to replace the Constantinian basilica of St. Peter with a new structure is studied by Bruschi 1977 and Frommel 1976. His construction and decoration of a new set of papal apartments is the subject of Shearman 1971 and Redig de Campos 1973. His construction of the Cortile del Belvedere, eventually quadrated on three sides with new wings of the papal palace and incorporating the Villa del Belvedere of Innocent VIII, is the subject of Ackerman 1954. Pfeiffer 2007 examines the theological significance of the frescoes he commissioned Michelangelo to paint on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Pfeiffer finds that when he was painting the lunettes of the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo was influenced by themes on the Immaculate Conception found in a 1448 sermon of Sixtus IV and the writings of Gioacchino da Fiore. The writings of St. Paul, pseudo-Ambrose, Augustine, Gioacchino da Fiore, Egidio da Viterbo, and others are seen as the keys to interpreting the scenes of creation of the world, the creation of Adam and Eve and their Fall, and the story of Noah. The Neoplatonic symbolism Michelangelo employed in his design of the tomb of Julius II is laid out by Panofsky 1962.

  165. Julius II as Head of the Roman Catholic Church
  166.  
  167. The great crisis Julius II confronted as pope was the Pisan schism, when a group of dissident cardinals supported by Louis XII of France and Emperor Maximilian called a council to meet in Pisa in 1511. Ullmann 1972 studies the legal basis for their convocation of the council. The pope’s efforts to head off the schism and defeat its supporters are studied by Minnich 1984. Julius II’s principal response to the Pisan Council was the calling of his own council to meet in the Lateran Basilica. His tight control of the council and his efforts to make it ritually proper are also explored in Minnich 2007 and Minnich 2008a. That Julius II was prevented from organizing a response to the Turkish threat due to conflicts among Christian princes is documented in Setton 1984. His bull condemning simony in papal elections is the subject of Dykmans 1989. His efforts to reform religious orders are studied by Martin 1967 for the Augustinian friars and by Moorman 1968 for the Franciscan friars. As pope, he established the first bishoprics in the Spanish lands in the Caribbean, and granted to the Spanish king the right of presentation and of taxing ecclesiastical revenues in the Americas; Shiels 1961 is still useful on these issues.
