This volume explores papal communication and its reception in the
period c.1100-1300; it presents a range of interdisciplinary
approaches and original insights into the construction of papal
authority and local perceptions of papal power in the central
Middle Ages. Some of the chapters in this book focus on the visual,
ritual and spatial communication that visitors encountered when
they met the peripatetic papal curia in Rome or elsewhere, and how
this informed their experience of papal self-representation. The
essays analyse papal clothing as well as the iconography,
architecture and use of space in papal palaces and the titular
churches of Rome. Other chapters explore communication over long
distances and analyse the role of gifts and texts such as letters,
sermons and historical writings in relation to papal communication.
Importantly, this book emphasises the plurality of responses to
papal communication by engaging with the reception of papal
messages by different audiences, both secular and ecclesiastical,
and in relation to several geographic regions including England,
France, Ireland, Italy and Switzerland. The chapters in this book
were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of
Medieval History.
