Preface to New Edition
I should like to thank the University of California Press, and particularly its director, Mr. James Clark, for reprinting this twenty-year-old book and also to thank two especially encouraging colleagues in the department of history at California, Randolph Starn and Irwin Scheiner. It was Scheiner's idea to append the essay "Bishops and Saints," which I had written for Perry Curtis's collection The Historian's Workshop to explain the composition of Two Churches as exactly and openly as I could when that composition was still fresh in my mind. Although the essay is rather heavily and uninhibitedly personal, and so perhaps annoying, I hope that its explanation of process will prove interesting to some readers of the book. For her help in and responsibility for the original publication of the book by Princeton University Press, I should like again to thank Miss Miriam Brokaw.
I should also like to thank recent colleagues at Emory and Smith for having stimulated me to think again even about this part, and particularly to thank Jean Wilson at Smith, who lured me into history in the first place, and George Cuttino at Emory, who first taught me to read documents.
The present edition is a reprinting. I have not tried to rewrite the book or to incorporate within it research that has been done in recent years or even to make it reflect changes in my own attitudes. The basic contrast within the book was meant, as I wrote in its conclusion, to provoke closer observation of the thirteenth-century church; its parts were not meant to be "fixed and permanent structures." If I were now beginning to write the Italian half of my contrast, I would write and shape it somewhat differently. I have spent the years since the 1960s studying Italy and its church in areas-most intensely a band of territory stretching from Rome through Rieti to Sulmona and L'Aquilawhich I did not then know very well. In my study I have been aided by the work and often the presence of

effective Italian historians; and in this period the study of local Italian ecclesiastical history has been revolutionized. I have tried to describe the revolution and to suggest some part of my debt to its participants in a recent review essay, "Italian Ecclesiastical History: The Sambin Revolution."1 Subjects which my book touches, moreover, like the pieve and the will-testament, have exploded into general visibility and interest.2
More specifically, I made a Rieti notary die too early, and I failed to take a crusading cardinal away from Citeaux.3 Perhaps I made too sharp a break in provision at 1265 and used the word bull too casually. Certainly I read too trustingly the description of the condition of the Rieti chapter in a papal mandate. This list could continue. One correction I really do want to make. It concerns a man who was bishop of Rieti from 1278 to 1286. In Two Churches he was called, as he has been conventionally called, Pietro Gerra; but the careful research of Norbert Kamp makes it seem wise to discard the "surname" Gerra and to call Pietro, who was successively bishop of Sora and Rieti and then archbishop of Monreale and Capua and finally patriarch of Aquileia, Pietro da Ferentino or Pietro Romano or "Egiptius." When I wrote
