Reviews
'Written in an interesting way, offering to the reader a huge amount of information which is not only emphasized but also analysed by the author, the book of John Ott entitled: Bishops, Authority and Community in Northwestern Europe, c.1050-1150, published in 2015 at Cambridge University Press is surely an important contribution not only for the study and understanding of the history of Medieval Church in the aforementioned space, but also for the medieval history, because it contains references to the interference between religion and politics.' Iuliu-Marius Morariu, Anuario de Historia de la Iglesia 'Ott has with this book connected with many of his excellent articles on the bishops of the province of Reims and produced a decidedly intelligent and multifaceted study on the bishops of province and their conception of office. He sketches an image of bishops who did not oppose social and institutional changes reluctantly or even with hostility, but were an integral component of contemporary culture ... [this book] will serve as important reading not only on the bishops of the region of Reims, but also for episcopal conceptions of office in the eleventh and twelfth century in general.'
