"What were the constitutive acts in the making of a bishop and what
was their significance?" In answering these questions, Professor
Benson provides a new perspective on a crucial chapter in the
history of ecclesiastical office. Drawing upon material from
unedited canonistic manuscripts, as well as from Gratian's Decretum
and the Decretales of Gregory IX, he traces aspects of the Church's
constitutional doctrine and administrative practice from the early
Middle Ages, which stressed the sacramental character of office, to
the end of the thirteenth century, when ecclesiastical office was
conceived primarily in terms of jurisdictional prerogatives.
Originally published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the
latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
