Softcover. ix, [1], 431 p.; 20 cm. (Documentary history of Western civilization ; HR 1468) From the preface: `The selections included in this volume have been chosen to illustrate the features most characteristic of Christianity in each of four periods: the early patristic age to the pontificate of Gregory the Great (d. 604), the Carolingian age, the period of European recovery from the tenth to the mid-twelfth century, and finally the period from about 1150 to 1300, sometimes called the High Middle Ages. Partly because of limitations of space, and partly because they are well covered by readily available translations, certain categories of Christian documents have been left out or given scant treatment. Such, for example, are the theological treatises which deal with controversies between the temporal and spiritual jurisdictions and the literature of Byzantine Christianity. Except where otherwise indicated, the translations have been prepared by the editor.' VG, sewn, in orig. illus. black wrapper. Front edge lt. spotted.
