Episcopal Elections 250-600: Hierarchy and Popular Will in Late Antiquity - Oxford Classical Monographs
Norton, Peter (Teacher at the Dragon School, Oxford)

Peter Norton argues that this right remained for longer than is normally assumed, with important consequences for our understanding of the administration of the later empire.
