ABSTRACT
For a survey of the history of the medieval papacy see Geoffrey Barraclough, The Medieval Papacy (New York, 1968). Walter Ullmann, The Growth of Papal Government in the Middle Ages, 3rd edn (Cambridge, 1970) is a classic study of the interaction of ideas and events in the rise of papal power. The same author's Medieval Papalism: The Political Theories of the Medieval Canonists (London, 1949) is a good treatment of the theories that laid the basis for papal power. For a detailed, recent and masterful treatment of the rise of the papal monarchy see Colin Morris, The Papal Monarchy: The Western Church from 1050 to 1250 (Oxford, 1989). Daniel P. Waley, The Papal State in the Thirteenth Century (London, 1961), traces the popes' unsuccessful efforts to create and control a state in central Italy. Geoffrey Barraclough, Papal Provisions (Oxford, 1935), is a detailed study of the theory and practice of papal appointment to office in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Eric W. Kemp, Canonization and Authority in the Western Church (London, 1948), is a fine case study of the growth of papal authority in a particular area, that of canonization. For studies of a great thirteenthcentury pope see Christopher R. Cheney, Pope Innocent III and England, Papste und Papsttum, 9 (Stuttgart, 1976) or Helena Tillmann, Pope Innocent III, translated by Walter Sax (Amsterdam, 1980).
