Rosamond McKitterick offers a new analysis of this extraordinary combination of historical reconstruction, deliberate selection and political use of fiction, to illuminate the history of the early popes and their relationship with Rome. She examines the content, context, and transmission of the text, and the complex relationships between the reality, representation, and reception of authority that it reflects. The Liber pontificalis presented Rome as a holy city of Christian saints and martyrs, as the bishops of Rome established their visible power in buildings, and it articulated the popes spiritual and ministerial role, accommodated within their Roman imperial inheritance. Drawing on wide-ranging and interdisciplinary international research, Rome and the Invention of the Papacy offers pioneering insights into the evolution of this extraordinary source, and its significance for the history of early medieval Europe"--04aLiber Pontificalis. 4aPopesxBiographyxEarly works to 1800. 4aChurch historyyPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600. 4aRome (Italy)xHistory. 0aJames Lydon lectures in medieval history and culture.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oBX950.Z5 M35 2020pPNLIB21061827r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c2014d2014
