The Roman Curia is the oldest extant body of institutional administration in the world. This book gathers the best recent scholarship on the Curia from its origins to the early modern period, examining it both internally and in relation to the broader world.

The Roman Curia is the oldest extant body of institutional administration in the world. Indeed, it was the prototype for the development of centralized government in the monarchies of the Middle Ages. Further, it was the administrative backbone of the first worldwide organization in human history. It developed policies, laws, and procedures that continue to affect the entire world. This book offers scholarly contributions from the origins of the Curia to the early modern period.

Contributors include Barbara Bombi, Elena Bonora, Bruce Brasington, Sandro Carocci, Peter D. Clarke, Maria Teresa Fattori, Massimo Carlo Giannini, Anthony Lappin, Rita Lizzi Testa, Rosamond McKitterick, Dominic Moreau, Bronwen Neil, Miles Pattenden, Giovanni Pizzorusso, Donald Prudlo, Kirsi Salonen, Cesare Santus, and Danica Summerlin.

Donald S. Prudlo, Ph.D. (2004, University of Virginia) holds the Warren Chair of Catholic Studies at the University of Tulsa. His research focuses on medieval religious history and thought, on saints and sainthood, and on the Dominican order. He is the author of Thomas Aquinas: A Historical, Theological, and Environmental Portrait (2020), Certain Sainthood (2015), and The Martyred Inquisitor (2009).
