Papst Johannes XXII: Konzepte und Verfahren seines Pontifikats

Pope John XXII, elected in 1316, reigned for 18 years and was the most significant if also the most controversial of the Popes who resided in Avignon. The essays in this volume, drawn from the disciplines of history, art, philosophy, theology, and the law, examine the conceptual and institutional conditions and the impact of his papacy and seek to show the ways it was organized according to both time-honored and innovative practices.
