Kuntz tells the tale of the itinerant preacher Dionisio Gallo, using his story to depict the political and religious landscape of Counter-Reformation Europe and the relationship between politics and religious reform during the decade of the Council of Trent. We see how much prophecy and eschatology still attracts the intellects of France and Italy.
