Title: Papal Decretals relating to the Diocese of Lincoln in the Twelfth Century. The Lincoln Record Society Vol 47
Language: English and Latin
Summary: Papal Decretals relating to the Diocese of Lincoln in the Twelfth Century examines the papal letters and legal rulings that affected the governance of the medieval Diocese of Lincoln during the 1100s.
The main themes are:
Papal authority: The decretals show the growing role of the papacy in settling disputes and regulating church affairs within Lincoln. 
Church appointments: Papal decisions could influence disputes over the election or appointment of bishops, clergy, and other ecclesiastical offices. 
Property and jurisdiction: Many cases concerned church lands, revenues, benefices, and competing claims to ecclesiastical jurisdiction. 
Canon law: The decretals illustrate how emerging canon-law principles were applied to concrete disputes in an English diocese. 
Conflicts within the Church: Appeals to Rome provided a mechanism for resolving disagreements between bishops, monasteries, cathedral clergy, and individual clerics. 
Lincoln’s importance: Because Lincoln was a large and influential medieval diocese, its disputes generated substantial correspondence with the papal curia and provide useful evidence for the expansion of papal legal authority in England. 
Historical significance: Taken together, the decretals demonstrate the increasingly sophisticated relationship between local English ecclesiastical institutions and the papacy, particularly during the reforms of the twelfth century. 
The material is valuable not simply as a collection of individual legal decisions, but as evidence for the development of papal government, canon law, episcopal administration, and ecclesiastical jurisdiction in medieval England.
