The book by the famous Italian medievalist Agostino Paravicini Bogliani is a large-scale excursion into the history of the papacy - the oldest spiritual institution in Europe. The reader will have to get acquainted with the rituals that accompanied the election and burial of the pontiffs, learn what sacred beginnings are hidden behind their bodily shell and how the Curia interpreted the concepts of perishability and eternity.

At the heart of the book - the author's reasoning about the essence of power, the divine and natural in man. The world of Roman popes with dreams of longevity and fear of death, disputes about the fragility of the body and the immortality of the soul appears before us in all its diversity.

The book was translated into Russian by Oleg Voskoboynikov, Russian medievalist, Doctor of Historical Sciences, specialist in the culture of the medieval West.
