Bøker av Walter Ullmann

This text represents a sort of customary or ordinal for the English court chapel in 1449, intended to govern the life of the 49 people, including choirboys, who were the staff of this peripatetic establishment. It was based on earlier drafts, and was sent to Alvaro Vaz d'Almada, a knight of the Garter, for the use of Afonso V of Portugal; it includes a copy of the English coronation rites.

However, Ullmann points to feudalism as the single most important medieval institution that laid the groundwork for the emergence of the modern citizen.

The purpose of this book is to put before the student of politics and the general reader an overall conspectus of the sources from which political ideas took their origin. The author, who is an acknowledged international authority on the subject and who over many years of intensive research has acquired an intimate familiarity with the material, makes his specialised knowledge available to the non-specialist. The book traverses ground that is virtually uncultivated, and it does so in an exciting way - by taking the reader into the chanceries of governments, of public organs and functionaries, and into the lecture halls of the great scholars in the universities. It shows upon what presuppositions publicists, litterateurs, government advisers, scholars and learned writers have proceeded to arrive at their political views. This variegated mass of material is here comprehensively presented.

Deals with the problem of State and Church in the Middle Ages from a different angle. This title shows how and why the medieval popes pursued a policy of world domination, and discloses the ideas by which the papal monarchs were primarily influenced. It examines the prominent part played by the medieval English canonists in shaping papal policy.

This classic text outlines the development of the papacy as an institution in the Middle Ages. With profound knowledge and insight, Ullmann traces the course of papal history from the late Roman Empire to its eventual decline in the Renaissance.
