In the course of the 11th century, the Papacy increasingly claimed
a universal authority over all Christians. Even if this programme
was not fully implemented, it is still the most successful example
of territorial claims being staked in medieval Europe. The present
volume of collected papers approaches this topic from a number of
directions, dealing above all with the organisation of papal power,
legal processes and the ways in which religious ideas were
communicated. The basic approach of the papers is to examine the
history of communication and to analyse the paths of information
exchange and the barriers to communication in a Church which
regarded itself as having universal authority and laboured to
establish this claim.
