Synopsis:
The structures and concepts of ecclesiastical authority that existed in the Middle Ages fundamentally underpinned the medieval world, yet disciplinary boundaries have often inhibited scholars' approaches in this area of research. This book reconsiders the traditional approach to medieval Church authority, which is focused on the Church as an institution, by examining recent research in related disciplines, such as the history of art, cultural history, and musicology. It asks how ecclesiastical authority was conceptualised, analyses the structures through which it was expressed, and offers improved insight into the varying importance of structures and concepts under consideration.
