v. 5, pt. 1. The middle ages from Gregory VII., 1049, to Boniface VIII., 1294, by David S. Schaff. “The period of the present volume is that of the papal theocracy and the scholastic theology, the ‘Blüthezeit’ of Catholicism, when it would hardly do to laugh in one’s sleeve at an encyclical. It was the time also of the rise of the universities, of the enthusiasm of the crusades, and of the noblest development of church architecture. The coming historian who writes a really great history of this period will find the ground well broken by this honorable endeavor of a son to complete a father’s unfinished task.” (Ind.)
