Throughout his career, Robert Brentano attempted to understand the
nature and 'style' of ecclesiastical institutions in Italy and the
British Isles, the specific qualities of saints and the communities
that formed around them, and the ways in which seemingly cryptic
archival remains of medieval administrative activity, as well as
chronicles and lives, could reveal vital details about change and
continuity in local and regional religious life and even 'the color
of men's souls'. These issues are explored in the essays assembled
in Parts I (Bishops) and II (Saints). Part III (Historians) brings
together articles that examine the writing of history by both
medieval authors and modern historians, and includes Brentano's
reflections on his own practice as an historian. The introduction
by W. L. North offers a brief biography and introduction to reading
Brentano's works, followed by a complete bibliography of his
publications.
