Europe Editorial Review
"The Cardinal's Hat: Money, Ambition, and Everyday Life in the Court of a Borgia Prince" by Mary Hollingsworth provides an in-depth look at the life of Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, a son of Lucrezia Borgia, and the pursuit of his goal to become a Cardinal. The book is based on extensive archival research with a detailed emphasis on the everyday material world of a 16th-century Italian aristocrat, including information about his travels and costs associated with daily living. The book is recommended for those interested in the Renaissance period and the true history of the Catholic Church. However, some readers found it slow and tedious due to the excessive detail on the minutiae of expenses. Overall, the author manages to weave a lively account out of the research and provides a remarkable insight into the world of Ippolito d'Este.
