detailed List of the popes : for a list much more detailed than this one, with the name and birthplace of the popes, the exact dates (birth, beginning and end of pontificate, death), of the comments, etc the antipapes are also indicated there. In introduction, one will find explanations detailed on what one understands by the word “pope”, on what must be reproduced and not appear in the list and on the difficulty in drawing up an acceptable list by all.

Name of reign of the popes : for explanations detailed on the names of the popes, and thus on the anomalies noted on certain names in this list.

List of the primacies of the orthodoxe Church copte and List of the catholicos of the Armenian Church : because these religious dignities also carry the title of pope , in his more general definition.
