"Before tackling this issue, a summary of "The Pope's Elephant" needs to be proffered. Bedini provides a captivating and insightful study into the bizarre activities of Rome and the Papacy in the early 16th century and their business with other countries, such as Portugal, the country responsible for Hanno's introduction into Rome. Presented to Leo at 1514, Hanno the elephant embodied Portuguese supremacy and control in the Far East."More papers on "The Pope's Elephant":
