Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Very Good jacket. Book Quarto, hardcover, name on endpaper else fine in near fine white pictorial dj. recounts the lives, deeds and misdeeds of the 264 popes from St Peter to John Paul II. The dichotomy between the awesome dignity of the holy office and the all-too-human passions and pleasures of some of the individuals who have occupied it characterizes the narrative throughout. It provides an historical overview, showing how ultimately the Papacy has moved in a circle-from self-consciously spiritual office, through embroilment in political power and back to self-conciously spritual office again. 240 pp. including index. 308 illustrations (105 in color)
