Reviews

*Pope Benedict XII (1334-1342). The Guardian of Orthodoxy* is an excellent piece of scholarship and a most welcome addition to the literature on the Avignon papacy. Bueno and her collaborators are to be commended, not only for rescuing Benedict from the relative obscurity in which he has languished for so long, but also for reconsidering his entire pontificate and its legacy in light of new directions in scholarship. - Blake R. Beattie, *sehepunkte.de*, 2019 [...] Irene Bueno has put together an edited volume that contributes much to the study of the Late Medieval Papacy and of Benedict XII himself. These chapters form a refreshing reexamination of the pontiff and his activities and should reinvigorate scholarly attention to this often-overlooked pope. - Joshua P. Hevert, Church History, Vol. 91, Iss. 3
