Reviews
The Gesta of Pope Innocent III, an important and oft-quoted source for Innocent's early pontificate, had remained--until now--useful only to specialists in church history. Powell, a widely published (and respected) medievalist, has produced an English translation of this text that broadens its accessibility to the nonmedieval Latin reading public while maintaining its usefulness to the scholarly community. Students will love that the translation is a noncritical edition whose text is only occasionally interrupted by footnotes. Scholars will appreciate the footnotes, referencing both primary sources and modern research, supplemented with a carefully selected bibliography. Both groups will benefit from an introduction that prepares readers for the text, clearly indicating and explaining those events included (and excluded) from the narrative...an admirable, and definitive translation. Essential. All libraries." -- R.T. Ingoglia, Choice "The Gesta is one of the most important sources for Innocent's early pontificate, which, with its emphasis on pastoral and constitutional reform, was a milestone in the history of medieval papacy.... For its clarity and usefulness, this translation deserves high praise. It will be indispensable for anyone with an interest in papal history or the history of the Fourth Crusade, and especially for students or for classroom use."--Frans vie Liere, The Historian " At a time when few students can read Latin, this translation is to be welcomed...."- Jane Sayers, Catholic Historical Review "[A] fascinating text for exploring attitudes to the role of the papacy at the turn of the thirteenth century.... [A] valuable teaching tool for years to come."-- Frances Andrews, Ecclesiastical History, For its clarity and usefulness, this translation deserves high praise. It will be indispensable for anyone with an interest in papal history or the history of the Fourth Crusade, and especially for students or for classroom use., For its clarity and usefulness, this translation deserves high praise.

ÝA¨ valuable teaching tool for years to come., The world of Innocent III studies has been begging for ages for a full translation of the Gesta Innocentii III. Until now, no one had the courage, tenacity, and breadth of learning to undertake the entire text. Powell delivers a text that will be of great value for students and scholars for decades to come.

Synopsis
The Deeds of Pope Innocent III, composed before 1210 by an anonymous member of the papal curia, provides a unique window into the activities, policies, and strategies of the papacy and the curia during one of the most important periods in the history of the medieval church. Innocent III, who became pope in 1198 and reigned until 1216, has long been regarded as one of the most important popes in history. This partial biography covering the first ten years of Innocent's pontificate was written by a cleric close to the pope and familiar with the curia. The translator, James M. Powell, suggests that it was written by the canonist and later cardinal Peter of Benevento. Peter had a profound knowledge of southern Italy and closely followed Innocent's efforts to unify the churches of the East and West and to promote the crusade. Though the discussion of Roman politics found in these pages is one of the most valuable sources available to us, the work has long been neglected and only recently has begun to receive the attention it deserves. Never before has it been translated into any modern language. It is a treasure of contemporary letters, arranged by the author to reinforce his interpretation of the events discussed. The results are new insights that will inspire both students and scholars. The translator provides an engaging introduction and adds numerous explanatory notes throughout the book. Those who seek a fuller understanding of the development of the papacy during a period of great change in medieval religious history will find this work essential., The Deeds of Pope Innocent III, composed before 1210 by an anonymous member of the papal curia, provides a unique window into the activities, policies, and strategies of the papacy and the curia during one of the most important periods in the history of the medieval church.

- _***i (66)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGood shipping, packaging, and was as described. God value as well, especially with the content of the cd. I am happy to have found this cd of one of the most important animal activists. In the cd, Gary Yourofsky shares the moral imperative of granting animals their negative rights. Like the right not to be enslaved and murdered! He shares the vegan message, a message that in my view, grants animals the same rights as human beings if they were to be trait equalized.PETA Gary Yourofsky Liberator To Educator CD (#266689252823)
