Fowler in 1901. Von Ranke described the papacy not only as a clerical institution, but also as a political power. In volume II (books V-VII), von Ranke recounts the Counter-Reformation, the period of Catholic resurgence beginning in 1545 with the Council of Trent in response to the Protestant Reformation. Although praised by many as a masterpiece, both Catholics and Protestants criticized this book as too biased. As was the case in his other books, von Ranke's writing was based on eye-witness accounts, in this instance the use of private papers in Rome and Venice.</p>
