Damian J. Smith

About the series

The series Church, Faith and Culture in the Medieval West reflects the central concerns necessary for any in-depth study of the medieval Church greater cultural awareness and interdisciplinarity. Including both monographs and edited collections, this series draws on the most innovative work from established and younger scholars alike, offering a balance of interests, vertically through the period from c. 400 to c. 1500 or horizontally across Latin Christendom. Topics covered range from cultural history, the monastic life, relations between Church and State to law and ritual, palaeography and textual transmission. All authors, from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, share a commitment to innovation, analysis and historical accuracy.

About the volume

Building on recent revisionist histories of the quality and ability of the late medieval clergy, this is a comprehensive survey of the ordinations of priests at the Roman curia during the pontificates of Pius II (14581464) and Paul II (14641471). The study analyses archival documentation to reconstruct exactly how young men entered a clerical career, and also what influence practices at the curia had on wider clerical ordinations. The book concentrates especially on the role of the Apostolic Penitentiary in controlling the quality of priest candidates and on the role of Camera Apostolica in carrying out ecclesiastical ordinations in the papal curia.

Acknowledgements

According to numerous authors, the medieval papal curia has been the cause of a lot of problems. The most critical writers have claimed that greedy popes in their need of money sold ecclesiastical benefices to the candidate who offered the most notwithstanding whether he was qualified for the priesthood or not, or whether he intended to take care of the souls of his parishioners or not. The aim of this book is to investigate for the first time on the basis of the vast medieval source material of the Apostolic Penitentiary and Apostolic Chamber kept in the Vatican Archives how much of these claims is true and how much falls into the category of malevolent historical fiction.

This book is a common enterprise of two authors. concentrating on the evidence of the Apostolic Chamber is written by Jussi Hanska, while the introduction and the conclusions are written together. The joint authorship is reflected in the common bibliography too. At the end of the book readers will also find both place and personal name indexes as well as a list of ecclesiastical terminology used in this book with explanations.

Books never result from nothing, but are the consequences of numerous favours from individuals working in different institutions. Our warmest thanks go to the competent personnel of the reading room of the Vatican Secret Archives who have given considerable and always friendly assistance. The personnel in the Apostolic Penitentiary have also read through the manuscript and agreed to its publication, for which we thank them warmly.
