- Alcune note sulla Riforma della Chiesa Romana nel pienomedioevo (secoli XI-XII)Publication . Renzi, Francesco; Veneziani, EnricoO objetivo deste artigo é apresentar um excursus histórico dos eventos e os resultados mais recentes das investigações internacionais sobre um dos temas mais importantes no estudo da Idade Média: a assim chamada “Reforma Gregoriana”. Este conceito foi muito debatido nas últimas decadas pelos historiadores, a fim de compreenderem melhor as múltiplas implicações ocorridas na Europa occidental derivadas desta transformação das estruturas da Igreja Romana desde o século XI. O quadro apresentado pelas fontes e por estas investigações é muito diferente da imagem tradicional de Gregório VII e da sua Reforma, revelando, pelo contrário, um conjunto plural, complexo e diferenciado que afetou profundamente as relações entre Roma e a Igreja nos séculos XI e XII.
- Cum enim sit ecclesie Romane vassallus: some observations on a letter of Pope Honorius III about James I of AragonPublication . Veneziani, EnricoThe aim of this work is to analyse the relationship between the Apostolic See and the Crown of Aragon during the papacy of Honorius III. While the idea of a feudal link between Aragon and the papacy has already been questioned by Johannes Fried, a letter sent from Honorius’s chancery in 1222 seems to show how the pope might have reframed this relation at some point during his papacy, explicitly highlighting the idea of King James I as a vassallus of the Roman Church. Tackling this document from an ecclesiological perspective and reading it in light of the context in which it was produced, this article considers the reasons for the change of interpretation by Honorius and the consequences for Aragon and for the papacy.
- Reframing the lives of Gelasius II, Calixtus II and Honorius II in the context of the 1130 SchismPublication . Veneziani, Enrico; Renzi, FrancescoDuring the 1130 schism, the Anacletian Cardinal Pandulf wrote three Lives of Gelasius II, Calixtus II and Honorius II. Historiography has usually read these Lives literally, as biographies. However, if they are considered in the light of the context in which they were written, our working hypothesis is that Pandulf created these Lives in order to support Anacletus and delegitimate his enemies. They therefore function as propaganda rather than as biographies. In this article passages from each Life will be presented that are significant in reading these works from the point of view of an Anacletian supporter in the context of the schism.
