John Smith’s Reviews > Book of the Pontiffs: Liber Pontificalis (Translated Texts for Historians, 6) > Status Update

Beautiful annalistic stuff. This book is a reign by reign series of bios of the occupants of the chair of Saint Peter, dating into the middle ages. All of it - especially the early period - is dubious factually, but accurate and revealing as a history of the Church's internal perception of itself and its officers.
