The first complete English translation of the papal register of Gregory VII: the earliest surviving original register of a pope ... the introduction usefully underlines its value as an insight into the thoughts and aims of this renowned reformer. Medium Aevum The whole translation is of high quality, both in style and accuracy, and it often catches perfectly the tone of hectoring affection which is characteristic of Gregory's correspondence. All students of the period will be greatly indebted to John Cowdrey for this impressive contribution. Journal of Theological Studies
