What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Leather Binding, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding
Complete in two volumes. First edition. A history, not of the church of Christianity or the church of Rome at large, but simply considered as aspiring to and obtaining pre-eminence and power, not of the doctrines or corruptions of the church, but of its political constitution and position. With chapters on the early history of the church of Rome, Constantine the Great, Gregory I, Nicholas I, the era of Gregory VII, Boniface VIII, and the reformation. Written by Joseph Esmond Riddle, an English cleric, scholar and lexicographer.
