Extract

Scattered through provincial Italian archives are a large number of documents that, collectively, outline something of a pattern of procedure in peninsular courts of papal judges delegate during the thirteenth century. Through these documents some idea can be formed of what the recurring phrase secundum juris ordinem actually meant in cases complicated particularly by the ecclesiastical topography of the papal homeland. The general pattern can be formed only slowly and piecemeal, but occasionally individual documents that may help in its formation seem interesting enough to repay individual consideration. One of these, a notary-written confirmation of a delegate sentence, preserved in a book of original documents in the sacristy of the ex-Cathedral of Ravello, is transcribed below.
