The Lives of the Popes in the Early Middle Ages - 19 volumes, a whopping 7,396 pages, for a prepub price of only $149.99! Let's get this into production! It's a 'must have' for those interested in tracing the history of the popes!

Horace Kinder Mann (1859–1928) was headmaster of St. Cuthbert's Grammar School, Rector of the Collegio Beda in Rome, a corresponding member of the Royal Academy of the History of Spain, as well as a member of the Accademia D'Arcadia and the R. Società Romana Di Storia Patria.

Horace K. Mann's The Lives of the Popes in the Early Middle Ages (19 vols.) aims at giving a full, authoritative, and systematic account of the life of each succeeding pope from the 7th–13th centuries. Drawing from numerous sources, Mann provides the main political and historical context for each pope before delving into their lives and work. Mann's biographies provide the background for many important moments in the history of the Catholic Church, giving insight into how important church doctrines and disciplines evolved during this era. Each volume includes a list of Mann's sources for each biography, illustrations, maps, notes on important councils and synods, letters in their original languages with their English translations, and more.

    Thnaks for highlighting this. It came over from community pricing ...

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
