medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I've always liked _The Papacy_ by Bernard Schimmelpfennig. It packs an
enormous amount of scholarship, particularly from Germans into a small
compass; it is esp. strong on the early papacy.

Phyllis,
You should have a look at these translations by Raymond Davis of pertinent
lives from the Liber pontificalis:
The book of pontiffs (Liber pontificalis): the ancient biographies of the
first ninety Roman bishops to AD 715. Rev. ed. (Liverpool Univ. Pr., 2000)
The lives of the eighth-century popes (Liber pontificalis): the ancient
biographies of nine popes from AD 715 to AD 817. (Liverpool Univ. Pr.,
1992)
And for a discussion of the collection containing these lives see Thomas F.
X. Noble, "A New Look at the Liber Pontificalis," Archivum Historiae
Pontificiae 23 (1985), 347-58.
Best,
John Dillon
