Reviews

"It is the merit of this volume [...] to assess and highlight the flexible and adaptable nature of the medieval Latin Church, its intricate administrative practices and mechanisms, its labyrinthine record keeping and intertwined interests that blend together saints and scholars, bureaucrats and miracle witnesses, popes and pagans. The successful combination of various methodologies, from case studies to reflective surveys, is presented in an academic format, each article being accompanied by a Bibliography divided into unpublished sources, printed archival records and secondary literature."
