Bøker i The Wiles Lectures-serien

This book is based on the Wiles lectures for 1981 delivered at the Queen's University of Belfast in October 1981.

In this book Professor Tierney traces the interplay between ecclesiastical and secular theories of government from the twelfth century to the seventeenth.
