More about the book
Focusing on the evolution of the Papacy as a unique institution, this classic text by Walter Ullmann explores its historical trajectory from the late Roman Empire to the Renaissance. Rather than emphasizing individual popes, Ullmann examines the institutional and conceptual development of the papacy, highlighting how the roles of popes shaped its significance. He argues that the transpersonal nature of the Papacy emerged from Christian foundations, establishing it as a distinct entity in medieval society.
