This volume assembles contributions to Papal documentary research related to the works in the Gallia Pontificia. It presents detailed accounts about important topics, including the French-speaking world, the importance of the office of cardinal, and diplomacy. Following the restructuring of the work on the Gallia Pontificia in 2012, this compendium shows that it would make sense to undertake further studies, especially regarding the Orbis Christianus.
