Its importance lies in its splendid introduction and massive annotation... a fine volume. JOURNAL OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY With this book Vincent further stamps his authority on English ecclesiastical history in the thirteenth century; one can only admire the learning that has gone into this impressive volume ... lucid and scholarly. JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS HISTORY [Australia] Contribut[es] considerably to understanding of the politics and diplomacy of the time as well as the relationship between the papacy and English church... An insightful study. CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW
