1 total work
The oldest of all surviving Western institutions, with an unbroken history dating from Christian antiquity to the present day, the papacy is a subject of interest to historians and a focus for continuing historical research. This book investigates the many-sided relations between Rome and the English Church and people in the Middle Ages. It contains studies by six leading medievalists, each on their author's own field of specialism. Together, they provide a continuous account of Anglo-papal relations from the mission of St Augustine in 597 to the eve of the Reformation. This revised edition contains a new chapter on the Anglo-Saxon church and new bibliographies.
