As the pope's alter ego, the medieval papal legate was the crucial
connecting link between Rome and the Christian provinces.
Commissioned with varying degrees of papal authority and
jurisdiction, these hand-picked representatives of the Roman Church
were nothing less than the administrative, legal, and institutional
embodiment of papal justice, diplomacy, government, and law during
the Middle Ages. By examining the origins and development of this
ecclesiastical office in the early Middle Ages, this book defines
the papacy's early contribution to medieval European law and
society. Presenting a pioneering inquiry into the field, The
Foundations of Medieval Papal Legation demonstrates the growth of
papal government and its increasing reliance on representation
beyond Rome, explaining how this centralized position was achieved
over time, going further to legitimize the papacy's burgeoning need
for increased supervision, mediation, and communication throughout
western Christendom. In so doing, it contributes to a wider
administrative, legal, and institutional understanding of papal
government in early medieval Europe as a whole.
