some renaissance popes were not known for their learning. vasari, in his "life of michelangelo" has a good story which is typical of the martial christianity of that period.
pope julius Ⅱ went one day to see a statue of himself which michelangelo was executing. the right hand of the statue was raised in a dignified attitude, and the artist consulted the pope as to whether he should place a book in the left.
