Excerpt from A History of Mediaeval Christianity and Sacred Art in Italy: A. D. 900-1500 This volume is intended as sequel to another, - A History of Ancient Christianity and Sacred Art in Italy, published in 1866; and it resumes the subject at the point of time where that previous publication leaves it. Such a title as History of Rome in the Middle Ages might be deemed more suitable than that (perhaps toe ambitious) here chosen; but I have wished to consider the religious state of Italy in general as implied in, and dependent upon, the conditions of the Church at the great centre of her life and influences. I should reproach myself for any injustice that could be discovered in these pages against either that Church or any other form of Christianity. In respect to the lives of the Roman Pontiffs, I have sought information from the original and earliest, rather than later, sources.
