MARCELLUS II

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 685 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARCELLUS II . (
Marcello
  Cervini), the successor of
Julius
  III., was born on the 6th of May 15o1, and was elected
pope
  on the 9th of April 1555. He had
long
  been identified with the rigorist party in the
church
 , and as president of the Council of Trent had incurred the anger of the emperor by his jealous defence of papal prerogative. His motives were lofty, his life blameless, his plans for reform nobly conceived. But death removed him (April 30, 1555) before he could do more than give an
earnest
  of his intentions. He was followed by Paul IV.
Contemporary lives are to be found in Panvinio, continuator of Platina, De vitis pontiff. rom.; and Ciaconius, Vitae et res geslae summorum pontiff. rom. (Rome, 16011602). P. Polidoro, De gestis, vita et moribus Marcelli II. (Rome, 1744), makes use of an unpublished
biography
  of the
pope
  by his brother, Alessandro Cervini. See also Brilli, Intorno cilia vita e title azioni di
Marcello
  II. (
Montepulciano
 , 1846) ; Ranke, Popes (Eng. trans.,Austin), i. 284 seq ; A.von
Reumont
 , Gesch. der Stadt Rom), in. 2, 512, seq. (T. F. C.)
