The Papacy in the Early Middle Ages (514-996): Index and Chronicle of the Pontiffs

By ADRIANO DONA

This historical index covers the succession of the 85 popes from Hormisdas (514) to John XV (996), a key period of the Early Middle Ages. Divided into eight thematic sections, the work provides a clear overview of the papacy's evolution-from the post-imperial transition, through the consolidation of its religious and political authority, to the upheavals of the 10th century.

Each pope is presented as a numbered chapter, allowing for a coherent and chronological access. Additionally, complementary sections such as the Prologue, Final Note, Legal Notice, and Bibliography are included, making this material a comprehensive resource for students, researchers, and history enthusiasts alike.

The index not only organizes the pontificates but also reflects the historical and political contexts that shaped the Church and its leadership, offering an academic and structured perspective on the papacy during a period of profound European transformation.
