Farrow, John         <br/><br/>
Pageant of the Popes 
John Farrow 
 - New York  Sheed & Ward  1942 
 - 420 p. 
<br/><br/> Includes list of popes and index. 
<br/><br/> This book contains a continuous history of the Papacy from the first century up to the mid-20th, when it was written. The original book has no chapter heads: the breakdown by century was added here. Farrow names every pope and provides extensive background on them. There are good popes, not a few bad popes, anti-popes (at one time there were three claimants to the throne), some popes who reigned less than a week, and numerous popes of humble origin.
