Beschreibung

Through a series of case studies with translated supporting documents, D.L. d'Avray offers a fresh reinterpretation of papal history from the third to the thirteenth century. He argues that papal authority was not imposed from the top but emerged through responses to resolve tensions between subsystems, both ecclesiastical and lay.
