Dolman, 1853. Scarce original two-volume edition of this English translation of the classic history of the Medieval Papacy. "Captivating work on the power and influence of the Popes during the Middle Ages. This was the period of the crusades where thousands of Medieval people from all walks of life travelled nearly three thousand miles to the Holy Land. The Militant religious zeal of the popes and the promise of redemption from sins made the crusades popular. The Catholic church became the universal and unifying institution. The religious fervor of the Popes of the Middle Ages transferred into medieval culture. A centralized Catholic church was realized under Pope Innocent III. The church and the power of the Popes was eventually weakened by quarrels between church and state. The Hundred Years War and the Wars of the Roses led to the end of the Feudal system and the emergence of the modern nation state. The reformers of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance culminated in the Protestant Reformation." These two volumes bear ornamental Ex Libris stampings from the Rev. Lord Charles Thynne (1813-1894), the 3rd Marquess of Bath. They also have labels from the library of the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Menlo Park, California.
