Exekutoren Synopsis

English summary: The collation of ecclesiastical benefices by the pope cannot be understood as an arbitrary instrument of papal centralism or an expression of a claim of universal control. It was the local interest in the papal rescripts of provision which was decisive for the degree of papal intervention. A crucial phase in the development of this practice was the early 14th century, when papal intervention in local church organization obtained its characteristic legal and procedural features. Kerstin Hitzbleck examines the executors of the papal rescripts as the local representatives of the papal curia, who had to enforce the claim established by the papal letter. The thorough analysis of the contemporary papal legislation, the canonistic commentaries and the diplomatic sources of executorial procedure is complemented by a prosopographic study of the actual choice of the executors. The author provides a new picture of the different types of papal benefices in various regions as well as of the pragmatic adaptation of the canonistic norm to everyday practice.


German description: Die Kollation von kirchlichen Pfrunden durch den Papst war kein zentralistisches Willkurinstrument und Ausdruck universalen Herrschaftsstrebens. Bestimmend war die lokale Nachfrage nach papstlichen Benefizialreskripten aus den Landern der Christenheit. Besondere Bedeutung kommt dem 14. Jahrhundert zu, als das Benefizialwesen zu seiner fur das Spatmittelalter charakteristischen Form findet. Kerstin Hitzbleck untersucht mit den Exekutoren der papstlichen Schreiben die ortlichen Vertreter der Kurie bei der Realisierung der Urkunden. Die eingehende Analyse der zeitgenossischen juristischen Kommentarliteratur sowie der diplomatischen Quellen zum Exekutionsprozess wird durch eine prosopographische Untersuchung der Exekutorenauswahl erganzt. Es entsteht ein neues Bild nicht nur der regionalen Auspragungen des papstlichen Benefizialwesens, sondern auch der pragmatischen Aktualisierung der juristischen Norm in der Benefizialpraxis der Zeit.
