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 4 (1887) continues the account of Alexander VI and his son
Cesare Borgia. In 1503 Julius II, the 'Warrior Pope' was elected,
and Creighton gives a full narrative of the wars and alliances that
the papacy subsequently became embroiled in. He also describes the
sessions of the Fifth Lateran Council (1512-17), and the succession
of Leo X.
