The fourteenth century was an era of great literary achievement in the face of governmental, economic, and religious near-apocalypse. No sooner had Boniface VIII declared his own gaudy papal jubilee in the year 1300 than his chief secular opponents, Philip IV of France and Edward I of England, began to contest his power. Working from the solid church and state amalgam that was the bequest of the thirteenth century, Boniface had aroused the kings’ resistance in 1296 with the Clericis laicos papal bull, which asserted the Roman Catholic Church’s right to levy taxes. Two years after the jubilee, he issued the more famous Unam sanctam, intended to establish the primacy of the Church in unambiguous terms by subordinating all human creation to the authority of the pope in Rome. This anachronistic attempt at absolutism, destined to fail in an era in which social and political evolution was ever accelerating, precipitated the withdrawal of the Papacy from Rome to Avignon, initiating in 1309 the Babylonian captivity of popes that was to last until 1376 and presaging the ultimate schism in the Church, which was healed only two decades into the fifteenth century at the Council of Constance. With the loss of a generally accepted central government for Christianity, as well as numerous other disasters, many of the philosophical and religious syntheses of the previous century also foundered.
