LIBER PONTIFICALIS, or GESTA PONTIFICUM ROMANORUM (i.e. book of the popes) , consists of the lives of the bishops of Rome from the time of St Peter to the death of Nicholas I. in 867. A supplement continues the series of lives almost to the close of the 9th century, and several other continuations were written later.
