Abstract

The Apparatus on the Decretals by pope Innocent IV: A known unknown. Other than the usual approach which focuses on the juridical content of the famous decretal commentary, the present paper highlights its structural and formal features. Peculiarities include unusual methods of argumentation, striking disproportions in the attention given to individual decretals, increasing frequency of gaps due to rudimentary treatment of certain decretals and complete omission of others, a program of textual criticism halfway abandoned, a rich tradition, where some 30 early editions, ca. 160 medieval manuscripts and a mysterious originale remain without apparent connections, a daunting jungle of so called additiones. The paper, which asks many questions leaving them without answers, should nevertheless help to understand the incomparable commentary.

Corsia Sistina features a painted biography of Pope Sixtus IV, one of the first historical biographies of the Renaissance. It was possible to identify the biographic character by correlating the images with the biography of pope written by Bartholomew of Platina. Being considered an exaltation of pontifical monarchy, the cycle of frescoes depicted Sixtus IV as a founder of Rome and in the same time as a defender of Christendom against the Ottoman threat. If for the episodes between 1471-1474 is not any doubt, concerning the scenes depicting events that occurred after the year 1474, the situation is more complicated. In their case, the interpretations require a careful analysis of the political context and of the Pope's actions, independently from Platina's text. It's the case of scene no. 34, in the Lancisi hall, whose inscription reads that the Bosnian and still Walachian king, despite fatigue and old age, came to see the Holy See of the Apostles.

The Chapel of Sixtus IV (also known as the Chapel of the Choir, and the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception) was not only the last addition to the old Basilica of San Pietro, but also one of its the longest-preserved parts (it was destroyed only in 1609). Only a few studies by foreign authors are devoted to this highly valued monument of the late Quattrocento in Rome. The main attention is paid to the tombstone of the pontiff, that fortunately has survived until now. For the first time, the present paper is focused on analysis of the position of the Chapel of Sixtus IV within the general complex of Vatican buildings and offers a reading of the spatial ensemble of the chapel, taking into account all its components, as well as the perspectives both of the world of people and of the sphere of the sacred. As a result, it is shown how an organic synthesis of not only different arts, but also of ancient and Christian cultures was achieved in this unique monument, and the versatility of the personality of Sixtus IV himself was vividly embodied.

Klappentext: Dieses Buch legt erstmals eine umfassende Darstellung der Entwicklung aller kirchlichen (Straf-)Verfahren gegen Kleriker in der kurialen Rechtsprechung unter Papst Innozenz III. vor. Dafür wurde auf den gesamten uns über die päpstlichen Register heute zugänglichen Quellenbestand zurückgegriffen. Anliegen der Untersuchung ist es, die gängigen Ansichten zur Genese der kirchlichen Verfahrensarten, allem voran des Inquisitions-, Denunciations- und Exceptionsprozesses, kritisch zu hinterfragen. Wo die Quellen sie als nicht mehr haltbar erweisen, etwa bei der Frage der "Geburt des kanonischen Inquisitionsverfahrens" unter Innozenz III., werden alternative Erklärungsmodelle aufgezeigt. Exkurse zu materiell-rechtlichen Fragen und zur Biographie des "Juristenpapstes" runden die prozessualen Erörterungen ab.
