Recensione

'This book has been long and eagerly awaited ... Those who have waited will not be disappointed. No one is better placed to fulfil what the title promises ... It is a mark of Markus's splendid achievement that he is able to intergrate the tensions of Gregory's life, represented by the two halves of this book, and to fuse them in one individual in this world.' Dr Harrison, Durham University

'Sweet fruit of almost forty years' tender cultivation, this is a book to be savoured.' Early Medieval Europe

'Easily accessible to the non-specialist, it is also a carefully argued piece of scholarship ...[this] will no doubt be the standard monograph on this famous Pope for a long time to come.' Wolfram Kinzig, Journal of Ecclesiastical History

Descrizione del libro

This is a study of Gregory the Great, the pope who sent Augustine (of Canterbury) and his fellow missionaries to convert the heathen English to Christianity (597). The book deals with every aspect of Gregory's pontificate and thus will be a major contribution to the study of late antique society.
