Priester, pedagoog en historicus Mann wijdde zijn intellectuele activiteit aan het middeleeuwse pausdom en werd de vooraanstaande Engelse historicus op dit gebied in de 20e eeuw. Zijn hoofdwerk, Leven van de Pausen in de (Vroege) Middeleeuwen, is een monumentale studie die de pontificaten van Gregorius I tot Benedictus XI onderzoekt. Hoewel zijn werk nog steeds waardevol is, is het grotendeels overtroffen door later onderzoek, wat echter niets afdoet aan zijn baanbrekende betekenis voor het begrip van de middeleeuwse kerkgeschiedenis.
