An excellent biography is T.S.R. Boase, Boniface VIII (1933). The following studies are concerned specifically with Bonifaceās quarrel with the French king Philip IV: A.P.M.F.J. de LĆ©vis-Mirepoix, LāAttentat dāAnagni: Le conflit entre la papautĆ© et le roi de France, 7 Septembre 1303 (1969); Jean RiviĆØre, Le ProblĆØme de lāĆ©glise et de lāĆ©tat au temps de Philippe le Bel (1926); Robert Fawtier, The Capetian Kings of France (1960; reissued 1982; originally published in French, 1942); and Charles T. Wood (ed.), Philip the Fair and Boniface VIII, 2nd ed. (1971). Bonifaceās correspondence and promulgations may be studied in Les Registres de Boniface VIII, ed. by Georges Digard, Maurice Faucon, and Antoine Thomas, 4 vol. (1884ā1939).
