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. In
Volume 5 (1894) Creighton focuses on the beginnings of humanism and
the different strands of the Reformation movement in Germany. He
discusses Luther's leading role in the movement, and the reaction
of the papacy to him. The volume closes with the sack of Rome by
Charles V's troops and Clement VII's flight to Orvieto in 1527.
