| 520 | _aThe friar of Wittenberg by William Stearns Davis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set amid the splendor and corruption of Renaissance Rome on the eve of the Reformation, it follows Gualtiero, Conte di Palaestro (Graf von Regenstein), an Italian-bred German noble entangled with cardinals, artists, and courtiers whose path bends north toward Martin Luther and a crisis of conscience. Expect intrigue, romance, and grand pageantry turning into moral reckoning as Italian humanism collides with German reforming fervor. The opening of The friar of Wittenberg plunges into Vatican intrigue: Cardinals Forli and Rocca plot to unseat—and, by hired dagger, remove—the favored Archbishop of Bari, dangling church advancement before Gualtiero, who refuses to join a murder. Between a glimpse of Raphael’s new painting and a glittering Chigi banquet, Gualtiero woos Forli’s brilliant daughter Marianna, defends Germans against Bembo’s jibes, then is abruptly arrested when the bravo Ettore Orosi blames him for a failed attack on Bari. Before Pope Leo X, Gualtiero will not betray Forli or Rocca; Leo soothes Bari with a prebend, stays the bravo’s fate, and banishes Gualtiero from Italy. The section closes with his journey north and stark arrival at his ancestral fortress of Regenstein, signaling a turn from Roman luxury to a harsher, awakening world.
