Brian Tierney (b. 1922) is a [[historian] and medievalist.
Tierney was educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge. He was a member of the faculty of the Catholic University of America for eight years until becoming professor of medieval history at Cornell University in 1959, becoming the Goldwin Smith Professor of Medieval History in 1969 and the first Bowmar Professor of Humanistic Studies in 1977.[1]
His speciality is medieval church history, focusing on the structure of the medieval church and the medieval state, and the influences of the interaction between these on the development of Western institutions.[1]
His former graduate students include Washington and Lee University School of Law Associate Dean for Academic Affairs David Million and Medieval and Renaissance Studies program chair David Peterson.[2][relevant?] According to a festschrift published in his honour, his Foundations of the Conciliar Theory (Cambridge University Press, 1955) and Origins of Papal Infallibility (E.J. Brill, 1972) have found their way beyond the confines of academia, helping to shape the modern RCC debate on ecclesiology.[3]
He served in the British Royal Air Force and received his B.A. and Ph. D. from the University of Cambridge. In addition to Cornell, he also taught at Catholic University (Washington, D.C.).[4][unreliable source?]
