Mandell Creighton's five-volume study of the papacy during the
Reformation was first published between 1882 and 1894. Lytton
Strachey paid an indirect compliment to Creighton's work by
remarking that 'the biscuit is certainly dry; but at any rate there
are no weevils'. Creighton (1843-1901) was an academic and an
ordained Anglican. Having studied at Oxford and spent time in the
parish of Embleton in Northumberland, he was appointed the first
Dixie Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge, became
Bishop of Peterborough and ended his career as Bishop of London.
Volume 3 (1887) concentrates on the half-century preceding the
Reformation. This was a period of papal decline from the learned
and energetic Pius II to a state of degeneracy and corruption which
Luther and others attempted to reform. The volume ends with a
detailed account of Alexander VI, the Borgia pope.
