"Although a three-volume encyclopedia may seem a large undertaking
for such a specialized topic, the papacy is not just an important
religious institution of interest in Western Europe. Rather, the
Holy See is an extremely important player on the world's religious,
political, and diplomatic stage. The detailed and substantial
treatment of the subject matter, along with the scholarly approach
taken, make this reference title appropriate for academic and large
public library collections. Researchers in religion, art, and
history will find much of use here." -- Booklist/RBB
