The Rise of the Papacy 83 MILMAN, History of Latin Christianity. First published in 1856; consequently rather old, but scholarly, readable, and fair-minded, so that it is still deservedly popular as a fuller treatment. For Gregory the Great, see Book III, Chapter VII. ALZOG, Manual of Universal Church History, 3 vols. The most careful and scholarly general account from a Catholic standpoint to be had in English. HATCH, Growth of Church Institutions. A brief but excellent account of the evolution of certain prominent features in church organization. SCHAFF, History of the Christian Church, Vols. I-IV to Gregory VII. Vol. V has never appeared. Vols. VI and VII relate to the Protestant Revolt. A voluminous but well-written treatise, where the student will find special topics fully and interestingly treated. It was written a generation later than Milman's volumes referred to above. ' RIVINGTON, LUKE, The Primitive Church and the See of Peter. A discussion by a Catholic of the position of the bishops of Rome in the early Church. MANN, Lives of the Popes in the Early Middle Ages, A.D. 590-795, 2 vols. The most careful and recent treatise on the papacy during this period. BARNEY, Gregory the Great. A condensed account of Gregory's life and times, followed by a summary of his works. SCHAFF-HERZOG, A Religious Encyclopedia, 4 vols., 1891. Based upon the great German Realencyklopddie mentioned below. ADDIS and ARNOLD, A Catholic Dictionary, containing some account of the doctrine, discipline, rites, ceremonies, councils, and religious orders of the Catholic Church, 2d ed., London, 1884. These dictionaries are a great aid to the historical student in looking up special topics and in discovering the exact meaning of technical terms. MOELLER, History of the Christian Church, Vols. I and II. This is a C. Materials rather poor English translation of a very condensed but highly scholarly for advanced and valuable German manual, which takes careful account of all the stucl y- recent discussions, especially those which have appeared in German periodicals and monographs. The best work of reference in this field. GIESELER, Ecclesiastical History, 5 vols. A scanty outline accom- panied by voluminous footnotes in which long and important passages church histories are indispensable, and by consulting the tables of contents one can easily discover the sections which bear upon the matters in which the reader is interested.
