This classic text outlines the development of the Papacy as an
institution in the Middle Ages. With profound knowledge, insight
and sophistication, Walter Ullmann traces the course of papal
history from the late Roman Empire to its eventual decline in the
Renaissance. The focus of this survey is on the institution and the
idea of papacy rather than individual figures, recognizing the
shaping power of the popes' roles that made them outstanding
personalities. The transpersonal idea, Ullmann argues, sprang from
Christianity itself and led to the Papacy as an institution sui
generis.
