  Leopold von Ranke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leopold von Ranke (December 21, 1795 - May 23, 1886) was one of the greatest German historians of the 19th century, and is frequently considered the founder of "scientific" history.
The Roman Catholic Church blocked Ranke as an Protesant from viewing the Vatican archives in Rome, but on the basis of private papers in Rome and Venice, Ranke was able to explain the history of the Papacy in the 16th century.
However, Ranke has been generally praised by historians for placing the situation of the Catholic Church in the context of the 16th century and for his treatment of the complex interaction of the political and religious issues in the 16th century.
