Baptista Mantuanus was a Carmelite poet whose 15^th-century works were influential during the Protestant Reformation. One of his most important poems was “De suorum temporum calamitatibus” – a work which was famously used by Martin Luther in his treatise against the papacy. “Calamitatibus” was Mantuanus’s views on the sinful nature and culture of those living apart from the church.
