The Power of Protocol by D L D'avray
How did the papacy govern European religious life without a proper bureaucracy and the normal resources of a state? The Power of Protocol explores how the demand for papal services was met and examines the genesis and structure of papal documents from the Roman empire to after the Council of Trent in the sixteenth century.
D. L. d'Avray is Professor Emeritus of History at University College London and a Supernumerary Fellow of Jesus College Oxford. He has published widely on medieval preaching, death and kingship, marriage, rationalities, and the papacy. He has published ten books, the last six with Cambridge, including most recently Papal Jurisprudence, 385–1234: Social Origins and Medieval Reception of Canon Law (2022). He has been a Fellow of the British Academy since 2005 and Corresponding Fellow of the Medieval Academy of America since 2016.
