1687 Pope Leo I the Great History Catholic Church Pelagians Maimbourg Armorial

An important biographical history of Pope Leo I the Great by Louis Maimbourg. Few 17^th-century compilations on early popes exist, and, unfortunately, this account on early Catholicism is known to be untrustworthy. Maimbourg was a Jesuit historian whose main works were on iconoclastic controversies and Arianism. Pope Leo I was called the most important people in the church’s history by Benedict XVI, mostly due to his issuing the Tome of Leo, a writing that would become the foundation for various ecumenical councils.

Important contents include Leo’s defense of Calvinistic theologies, Leo’s correspondence with Venice and Naples, communion with Pelagians, his attitude against the Priscillianists, and much more!
