Pope Leo I's theological and political influence (440-461) extended well beyond his own see of Rome to the Christian East through his contribution to preparations for the Council of Chalcedon and its outcome. This book deals with various aspects of Leo's activity as bishop of Rome. It is suitable for students of ancient and medieval Christianity.
In this brief introduction to the life and works of this important leader of the early church, we gain a more accurate picture of the circumstances and pressures which were brought to bear on his pontificate. A brief introduction surveys the scanty sources which document Leo''s early life, and sets his pontificate in its historical context, as the Western Roman Empire went into serious decline, and Rome lost its former status as the western capital.
