| | | | Pope Gregory I - Gregory as pope: Encyclopedia II - Pope Gregory I - Works Gregory is the only pope between the 5th and the 11th centuries whose correspondence and writings have survived enough to form a comprehensive corpus.

The heat of argument drew the emperor in as judge, Gregory using an interpreter, for he never learned the rudiments of Greek during his stay.
