Extract

When in the early morning hours of February 14, 1130, Pope Honorius II closed his eyes forever, a crisis within the Church of Rome broke into the open which long had been in the making. The forces which had dominated the Curia for eighty years, which had given to the world the great popes of the Reform, were challenged and swept aside by the revolution of an energetic minority which during less than a decade had steadily increased its influence in the Sacred College. Its undisputed leader was the Chancellor Haimeric, a Frenchman who had been appointed to his high office in 1123 by the French Pope Calixtus II. It was he who devised the measures which were to insure the succession to his party, measures which under the circumstances were bound to result in an uncanonical election, and, as a natural consequence, in a second election by the outraged majority.

3 It should be added that the forms under which this second election took place have also been open to objections; cf. e. g., Fliehe 9.52 and p. 162 infra; but, on the other hand, Klewitz, , Ende, 408.Google Scholar

4 This has been perhaps best expressed by Vitalis, Ordericus, Historia eccles. 13.3. (PL 188.932): ‘Nam in plerisque coenobiis duo abbates surrexerunt, et in episcopiis duo praesules de pontificatu certaverunt, quorum unus adhaerebat Petro Anacleto, alter vero favebat Gregorio Innocentio,’ and by the Actus pontificum Cenomannis in urbe degentium (Archives historiques du Maine, ed. Busson, Abbés G. and Ledru, A., 2, Le Mans 1902) 434 = Receuil 12.553: ‘Hoc igitur scismate universalis ecclesia ita videtur turbari, ut in plerisque locis in una sede, ad instar capitis, duo constituti sint canonici, archidiaconi, sacerdotes, abbates, archiepiscopi vero consecrarentur et pontifices.’ Google Scholar

5 This must be obvious to any reader of the pertinent literature of the last eighty years; The Schism of Anacletus II and the Glanfeuil Forgeries the reason being that some of the issues then at stake are still alive and that in the centre of the controversy stands neither Innocent II nor Anacletus II, but the most powerful figure of the twelfth century and indeed one of the greatest political leaders of the Middle Ages, St. Bernard. It is his dual role as religious reformer on one hand, and statesman on the other, that creates the dilemma. In addition, the magnetic personality of the Doctor mellifluus lives on in his works and has held many a reader under its spell. But it remains the duty of the historian to judge St. Bernard as a political figure according to standards used for other eminent political figures, though it will be necessary always to keep in mind the fact that religious motives inspired his political actions.Google Scholar

6 And yet I should have gladly reduced this section, if there were a satisfactory treatment of the schism with special reference to Monte Cassino. Among recent accounts, Klewitz's study (n. 1 supra) is by far the most important; his painstaking prosopographical analysis of the Sacred College in 1130 has secured the basic results accepted here and has raised the conflict from a squabble between two Roman families to a contest of two ages for supremacy in the Church. Haller, J., Das Papsttum 2.2 (Stuttgart 1939) 29–54, 543–8, offers many refreshing ideas, which, however, may not be accepted without scrutiny. The voluminous and diffuse monograph of Palumbo, P. F., ‘Lo Scisma del MCXXX,’ became known to me only after this portion of my study was all but completed. As to the evaluation of Anacletus II, we are substantially in agreement, but the work has not caused me to make any change in what had been written. It has been sufficient to add references to it in the footnotes. The most valuable part of the book is undoubtedly the register of the acts of Anacletus II which Palumbo gives at the end (pp. 641–82); cf. also his article ‘La cancelleria di Anacleto II,’ Scritti di paleografia e diplomatica in onore di Vincenzo Federici (Firenze 1944) 81–131. The most recent detailed treatment of the schism by Fliche, A., Hist. de l'Église 9 (Paris 1944) 50–70, represents the old vulgata, which tends to adhere to the documents of the victorious party after the elimination of their most questionable accusations. The Liber Pontificalis Dertusensis is not mentioned once by Fliche. Watkin Williams, in his Saint Bernard of Clairvaux 96–158, follows even more uncritically than Fliehe the official version as suggested by St. Bernard and his partisans. Among earlier works the most outstanding one is still W. Bernhardi's Lothar von Supplinburg 269–348 and 436–97 (the two biographies of Lothaire published in the occasion of the eight-hundredth anniversary of his death (Luedtke, F., Kaiser Lothar der Sachse, Deutschlands Wendung zum Osten [Berlin 1937], and Schneider, R., Kaiser Lothars Krone [Leipzig 1937], are worthless).

8 For the details see best Bernhardi, , Lothar 280–300; Klewitz, , Ende 406–9. Fliche's statement (op. cit. 51), ‘Pour assurer la régularité de l’élection, Aimeric imagina de faire transporter le pape mourant au monastère de Saint-Grégoire…,’ can hardly be accepted. The aim of Haimeric was not to assure the regularity of the election, but to make certain the election of his candidate, as was implicitly admitted by H. Leclercq: ‘Manifestement et avec intention, le cardinal Aimery avait transgressé ces lois’ (Héfelé-Leclercq, , Histoire des conciles 5.1, Paris 1912, 684). The last paragraph of the complete Vita Honorii II by the follower of Anacletus II, Pandulphus (since 1135 cardinal deacon of SS. Cosmas and Damian), preserved in the codex Dertusensis of the Liber Pontificalis (LPD 208), adds interesting details to our knowledge, especially about the uncanonical burial of the pope. —The members of the committee were elected from the three ordines as follows: (the opponents of Haimeric are in italics): the Bishops William of Praeneste, Conrad of Sabina (later Pope Anastasius IV); the Priests Pierleone of St. Mary in Trastevere, Petrus Pisanus of St. Susanna, Petrus Rufus of SS. Martin and Silvester; the Deacons Haimeric of St. Nova, Maria, Jonathas of SS. Cosmas and Damian. Pierleone and Jonathas withdrew from the committee before the election. It has been frequently pointed out that the majority of the cardinal bishops favored Innocent (5: 2), and that, in accordance with the leading role assigned to the bishops by Nicholas II in his decree of 1059 on papal elections, the majority vote of the bishops for Innocent would have settled the controversy of 1130. The weight of this argument in the conflict should surely not be minimized. But who can seriously doubt that a man of Haimeric's diplomatic skill would not have gladly seized the opportunity of overcoming the obstacle of a lacking majority in the Sacred College by referring the election to the seven bishops, if this had been at all feasible? Cf. also n. 3 supra, n. 18 infra. Google Scholar

9 Bishop Eberhard of Bamberg (1146–72) in a letter to Archbishop Eberhard of Salzburg written in 1160 (Rahewin, , Gesta Friderici imp. 4.81, ed. Waitz, , 2nd ed. Hannover 1884, p. 269): (on the schism of 1159) the synod of Pavia had decided in favor of Victor IV, ‘… quia domni Victoris inmantatio prior, illa posterior, quo solo Innocentius Anacleto praevaluit, cum Anacletus plures et maximae scientiae et auctoritatis haberet electores.’ (Cf. also Hauck, 4.240).Google Scholar

10 Haller, , Papsttum II 2.544 warned against overrating the importance of the conflicts of Roman families in this connection. Cf. Klewitz, , Ende, passim. Palumbo tends to relapse into the traditional views, esp. 195, 275 f.Google Scholar

For their role in the history of the Reform see especially D. Zema, S.J., ‘The Houses of Tuscany and of Pierleone in the Crisis of Rome in the Eleventh Century,’ Traditio 2 (1944) 169–75. Williams, W., Saint Bernard 99, misunderstands the erroneous statement of the Chronicon Mauriniacense 2.14 (ed. Mirot, L., Paris 1909, p. 50): ‘Fuit hic Petrus (scil. the cardinal) Petri filius, filii Leonis. Leo vero a Judaismo pascha faciens ad Christum a Leone baptizari et eius nomine meruit insigniri’(in reality, Leo's father was already converted), by maintaining that the cardinal ‘Peter's father was a Jew, another Peter, who in his conversion was honoured by being baptized by that excellent Pope Leo IX and by receiving his name.’ Google Scholar

14 On the Cardinal Pierleone see especially Klewitz, , Ende 385 f. and Entstehung 219. He occurs as cardinal deacon of SS. Cosmas and Damian from October 16, 1113 to May 21, 1120 and was made cardinal priest of St. Mary in Trastevere in 1120. Cf. also Palumbo 115–50.Google Scholar

15 The most interesting statement on him that has come down to us is by Pope Alexander III, who in 1160 wrote to Bishop Arnulf of Lisieux (in reply to a letter in which Arnulf had announced that he recognized Alexander III) (Watterich, J. M., Pontificum Romanorum … vitae, Leipzig 1862, 2.490 = JL 10627): ‘Innocentio papae antecessori nostro schismaticus ille, qui et generositate naturae, rerum copia terrenarum, prudentia seculari et gratia labiorum mira aestimatione reddebatur insignis, nefaria temeritate succrevit.’ Cf. Bernhardi, , Lothar 286, n. 48; Hauck 4.130 n. 4. — Remarkable is also a passage in a document concerning a long conflict between the bishops of Siena and Arezzo. This conflict had been finally resolved by Honorius II in favor of Bishop Guido of Arezzo: bull of May 5, 1125 (JL 7210; Kehr, IP 3 [Berlin 1908] 154 n° 40). When Bishop Gunteram of Siena reopened the question under Alexander III, the apostolic legate in Tuscany, Cardinal Laborans, made a thorough investigation (1178–81), questioning eyewitnesses of the events around and after 1125. The depositions of 104 witnesses are still preserved in two contemporary, though incomplete copies: Pasqui, U., Documenti per la storia della città di Arezzo (Documenti di storia italiana pubblicati di cura della R. Deputazione Toscana… di storia patria 11, Florence 1899) 1.519–73 n° 389; cf. Kehr, IP 3.156 n° 48. On p. 552 Iallus de Pergine, then aged 64, fifty or more years before armbearer of Zuccus, chamberlain of Bishop Guido of Arezzo, tells about his recollections of the diplomatic victory of the bishop. Soon afterwards he saw the bishop in Pergine with someone who, people said, was to invest Guido in the newly awarded church; ‘et erat ei nomen Petrus latus, et certe valde latus erat et plenus in pectore.’ Iallus then reports a conversation between Guido and the Roman legate, which took place in the home of the parish priest (of Pergine), where they were warming themselves at the fire. The bishop asked Peter: ‘I am greatly amazed that, while there are so many wise men of outstanding nobility and authority in Rome, whenever they are engaged in brilliant and weighty conversation, as soon as Pierleone enters their midst, omnes obnubilantur et liquefiunt.‘ And the legate answered the bishop: ‘Eius gratie Petrus Leonis est Rome, ut ad illius nutum tota Roma taceat et tota loquetur.’ First reference to this passage: Loewenfeld, NA 11 (1886) 596 f.; Hauck 4.130 n. 4 calls the bishop ambiguously ‘Guido of Arezzo.’ Google Scholar

16 Leclercq, , op. cit. (n. 8) 684 n., went so far as to say with reference to the advanced age of many followers of Anacletus: ‘Mais il faut savoir que, par qualité, ils entendaient la maturité de l'âge ou plutôt l'ancienneté, qui chez quelques-uns touchait à la sénilité.’ Cf. also n. 42 infra. Google Scholar

17 As revealed by the LPD 203–6. Cf. Klewitz, , Ende 400–2. The outspoken hostility of Pandulph against Honorius II (cf. Klewitz, , Ende 388) is most dramatically expressed in the following passage (LPD 206.10; cf. also 89): ‘Igitur vitam eius (scil. Honorii II) malo silentio contegi, quam in scriptis notari, cum talem suo tempore severit in mundo sementem, qualem post mortem suam misera mater nostra cum exorbatis filiis et in ventum omnem, iuxta verbum propheticum, ventilatis, adhuc quomodo demetere nulla falce valuerit. Cetera, que taceo, sunt manifesta Deo.’ This sentence clearly shows that Pandulph held the policy of Honorius II responsible for the schism. That Haimeric ruled under Honorius largely with the help of his faction — which meant the exclusion of the cardinals of the majority from most major assignments — was emphasized by Klewitz, , Ende 405.Google Scholar

18 On Petrus Senex see Klewitz, , Ende 374 f. His letter is preserved by William of Malmesbury, Hist. nov. 1.454 (ed. Stubbs, , Rolls Series 90, London 1889, 532 f.). Petrus Senex, incidentally, following the ‘imperial’ version of the election decree of 1059, takes the erroneous view that the prerogative of the election of the pope was reserved to the cardinal priests and deacons. Cf. in general n. 8 supra and Klewitz, , Entstehung 165 f. (with the correction in Göttingische Gelehrte Anzeigen 198 [1936] 539 n. 2) and Kuttner, S., ‘Cardinalis: the History of a Canonical Concept,’ Traditio 3 (1945) 173 f. (with references to the important studies by A. Michel in n. 96).Google Scholar

19 On February 23 Anacletus was inthroned in St. Peter by Bishop Petrus Senex of Portus. On the following day, Anacletus commissioned Archbishop Adalbero of Bremen to take a letter to Lothaire (JL 8371 = Palumbo 650 n° ii). Adalbero had arrived in Rome before Honorius’ death for regulating affairs of his church. On the same day Anacletus issued, at Adalbero's request, a privilege for Abbot Simon of Rasted (JL 8372 = Palumbo 650 n° iii). For Adalbero's role at this occasion cf. also Anacletus’ second letter to Lothaire of May 15, 1130 (JL 8388 = Palumbo 657 n° xx). Most of Anacletus’ bulls referred to in JL are printed in PL 179.688–731; complete register in Palumbo 641–82.

Haller surely has this passage in mind in his reference to ‘puer Iudaicus’ (Papsttum II 2.34).Google Scholar

29 MG Libelli de lite 3.85–108 = Script. 12.707–20. Haller, , Papsttum II 2.544: ‘Das ungeheuerliche Pamphlet Arnulfs von Lisieux verdient Beachtung nur als Zeugnis für den schmutzigen Charakter seines Verfassers.’ How utterly unreliable the tract is, was admitted even by Zoepffel, R., Die Papstwahlen (Göttingen 1871) 299–301, 371. Some of the worst accusations against Anacletus occur also in the letter of Bishop Manfred of Mantua to Lothaire, written after Lothaire's coronation (Watterich, J. M., op. cit. [n. 14 supra] 2.275 n. 1; cf. Schellert, O., Gerard von Angoulême [Diss. Halle 1880] 39 f.; Palumbo 21 f., 475). The close agreement between the two documents reveals how well the party of Innocent II had organized its propaganda of vilification. Already three years before Petrus Senex had written to the Innocentian bishops in the Sacred College (op. cit. n. 18 supra, 532): ‘Abstinere vos potius convenit a sermonibus otiosis et verbis praecipitationis: si de rumoribus agitur, longe se aliter habent res quam vestrae apud me litterae protestantur.’ Google Scholar

30 Barlow, F., The Letters of Arnulf of Lisieux (Camden Third Series 61, London 1939) XVI. The evidence for Barlow's thesis in St. Bernard's letter is only indirect: he mentions the schism in the beginning, but does not allude to Arnulf's merits in this matter. Peter the Venerable wrote a Tractatus adversum Iudaeos of more than customary violence (PL 189.507–650). Cf. for its tone 558 f.: ‘Sufficere quidem possunt omni homini ad huius rei certitudinem quae praemissa sunt. Sed quia cum Iudaeo, qui nescio utrum homo sit, mihi sermo est, adhuc aliqua addenda sunt.’ Cf. also Fliche 9.117.Google Scholar

31 St. Bernard, , Ep. 348 (PL 182.552 f.) and Peter the Venerable, Ep. 4.7 (PL 189.309 f.), both addressed to Innocent II in 1141. Peter calls him ‘amicum schismatis tempore’ and praises his ‘in iuvenili aetate morum maturitatem.’ Cf. also St. Bernard, , Ep. 248.1 (PL 182.447 f.) to Eugene III (a. 1146) and The Letters of Arnulf of Lisieux xx, xxxiv.Google Scholar

32 Klewitz, , Ende 387 rightly calls the pontificate of Innocent II an ‘Ausschnitt aus der Wirksamkeit Bernhards von Clairvaux.’ The pope's vindicteveness later caused great embarrassment to St. Bernard in the case of Cardinal Petrus Pisanus, who in 1137, at the Saint's intervention and at the promise that he would not lose his rank, had left Anacletus’ cause. Innocent disavowed St. Bernard and deposed Petrus Pisanus at the Lateran Council of 1139. He was sharply reminded of his promise by St. Bernard (Ep. 213: PL 182.378), but to no avail. On Petrus Pisanus cf. Ernaldus, , Vita s. Bernardi prima 2.7.43 (PL 185, 293); Mühlbacher, , Die streitige Papstwahl des Jahres 1130 (Innsbruck 1876) 18; Klewitz, , Ende 375 f.; Palumbo 580–4, 591, 594.Google Scholar

33 Ep. 238 (PL 182.428): ‘Quia tamen semel coepi, loquar ad dominum meum. Iam enim filium dicere non audeo, quia filius in patrem, pater mutatus est in filium.’ Ep. 239 (ibid. 431): ‘Aiunt non vos esse papam, sed me: et undique ad me confluunt, qui habent negotia.’ Google Scholar

34 Ep. 124.2 (PL 182.268 f.). — In France the decision fell in the Council of Étampes, late summer 1130, in Germany in the Council of Würzburg, October 1130. As to England, Ernald, St. Bernard's biographer, reports (Vita prima 2.1,4: PL 185.271) that at a meeting with Innocent II and St. Bernard at Chartres, January 13, 1131, Henry I first refused to recognize Innocent. ‘Quem vix persuasit Innocentium recipere (scil. Bernardus), ab episcopis Angliae penitus dissuasum.’ Bernard persuaded him finally by taking upon himself any possible sin which the king might commit by rendering obedience to Innocent. William of Malmesbury, whose whole treatment of the schism (op. cit. supra n. 18, 1.453 f., pp. 530–4) is remarkable for its objectivity, says Hist. nov. 1.454, p. 533 Stubbs: ‘rex Henricus, qui non leviter a sententia quam semel proposuisset, deici posset…’ Cf. also JL p. 846 and Haller, , Papsttum II 2.34. — Scotland remained faithful to Anacletus unto his death, both King David (1124–1153) and the Scottish clergy; here the main issue seems to have been the interference in the Scottish Church by Rome, which started in 1125 with the legation of the (later Innocentian) Cardinal John of Crema. Honorius II and after him Innocent II demanded that all bishops of Scotland should be subject to the Archbishop of York. If the pertinent letters of Innocent of 1131 and 1136 are representative of the controversy, it would seem that the leader of the anti- York party was Bishop John of Glasgow. For Scotland's attitude toward the schism cf. Richard of Hexham, Gesta Regis Stephani 3.170 (Chronicles of Stephen 3, ed. Howlett, R., Rolls Series 82, London 1886) = Anderson, A. O., Scottish Annals from English Chronicles A.D. 500 to 1286 (London 1908) 210 f. For the letters of Innocent II: JL 7514 (to John of Glasgow), 7515 (to the bishops of Scotland), both of November 29, 1131; 7650 (to Archbishop Thurstan of York) of May 2, 1134; 7766 (to Archbishop William of Canterbury), 7767 (to Thurstan of York), both of April 22, 1136. See also Duke, J. A., History of the Church of Scotland to the Reformation (Edinburgh 1937) 87 f. The schism in Scotland ended with the submission of the Scottish Church to Rome in 1138 at the Council of Carlisle, which was presided over by Bishop Alberic of Ostia.Google Scholar

35 This can be gathered from a letter full of bitterness and reproach addressed by the aged and ailing Hildebert probably in 1131 to Innocent, Recueil 15.326 (better text than PL 171.273), where he speaks of himself as, owing to the pope's interference, ‘tamquam qui omnino amiserim disponendi de commissa mihi ecclesia facultatem.’ On Hildebert in the Schism cf. Bernhardi, , Lothar 331; Palumbo 341–2; on Hildebert as a canonist: Barth, F. X., Hildebert von Lavardin (1056–1133) und das kirchliche Stellenbesetzungsrecht (Kirchenrechtliche Abhandl.

36 Hieron. ep. 146.1: “… si auctoritas quaeritur, orbis maior est urbe’ (ed. Hilberg, , CSEL 56.310). The passage was familiar to St. Bernard's contemporaries from the tradition of the canonists — it appears later also in Gratian (D. 73 c. 24); St. Bernard's antithesis urbs-orbis must therefore have had for them a familiar ring. Professor Kuttner called this link to my attention.Google Scholar

37 Ep. 124.2 (PL 182.269): ‘Electio meliorum, approbatio plurium, et, quod his efficacius est, morum attestatio, Innocentium apud omnes commendant, summum confirmant pontificem.’ Cf. Haller, , Papsttum II 2.544, and n. 38 infra. Google Scholar

Bened. 64.1), combined as it is in St. Bernard's letter, ep. 126.13 (PL 182.280) with the canon of Leo the Great on double elections (JK 411 c. 5). — On Aegidius of Tusculum see Klewitz, , Ende 384 f., Palumbo 419 f., Holtzmann in Wattenbach, R., Deutschlands Geschichtsquellen im Mittelalter ed. by Holtzmann, R.

He was an educated man. The Historia pontificum et comitum Engolismensium (Novae bibliothecae manuscript. ed. Labbe, Ph., Paris 1657) 261 = Recueil 12.396, reports that among other gifts, he left to the church of Angoulême ‘centum Volumina librorum vel eo amplius, ut credimus, videlicet scripta Gregorii, Augustini, Ambrosii, Hilarii, Isidori, Cypriani, Gregorii Nazianzeni, Origenis, Hieronymi, Bruni, Bedae, Rabani, Boethii, Paschasii, Sidonii, historiam parvam et historiam Iulii Caesaris, scripta Tullii.’ As a lasting monument of his activity he left the cathedral of Angoulême. Cf. Daras, Ch., ‘La cathédrale d'Angoulême,’ reprinted from Bull. et Mém. de la Société archéol. et histor. de la Charente 1941 (Angoulême 1942). Arnulf of Lisieux, In Girardum, prol. (MGH Lib. de lite 3.86 = Script. 12.708) rightly characterizes his role when he says: ‘Sicut enim Petrus (scil. Leonis) scismatis huius princeps et auctor est, sic Girardus eius inter omnia principalius est instrumentum.’ Characteristically, also Girard — like Hildebert and Anacletus’ principal supporters in the Sacred College — was an old man in 1130.

Bernhardi, , Lothar 283 n. 43; Palumbo 118, 273), who had made him cardinal, is found in an inscription in the portico of St. Laurence in Lucina, which indicates that on May 25, 1130 the church, which had been rebuilt after its destruction by the Normans in 1084, was dedicated by Anacletus II; this inscription stands side by side with one of Paschal II dated in 1112, which records the translatio of relics to the church.

Descriptions and drawings by Panvinio and Rasponi give us at least an idea of the appearance of these frescoes. Main treatment: Ladner, G., I Ritratti dei Papi nell’Antichità e nel Medioevo I (Monumenti di antichità cristiane pubbl. dal Pontificio Istituto di Archeologia Cristiana, 2nd ser., 4, Città del Vaticano 1941) 190–201 (with references to the earlier literature; cf. especially Lauer, Ph., Le Palais de Latran, Paris 1911, 162–71).

83 The original reading of the third verse and the identification of the founder at the Virgin's left with Anacletus II are due to a discovery, as brilliant and ingenious as it is convincing, by Duchesne, L., ‘Le nom d'Anaclet II au palais de Latran, Mém. de la Société des Antiquaires de France, 5th ser., 9 (1888) 197–206, and Le Liber Pontificalis II (Paris 1892) 325f. n. 22. For the apse of St. Nicholas we depend on descriptions and reproductions from the end of the fifteenth to the middle of the eighteenth century, when the chapel was destroyed: Ladner, , op. cit. 192–4, 202–18; Lauer, , loc cit. The identification of the founder at the Virgin's left with Anastasius IV by Caetani (= Gattula), Ecclissi and Grimaldi is arbitrary.

Pont. II 325 n. 22.

86 It is noteworthy that the great historian of Monte Cassino, Gattula, who did not know yet of the close connection of this work of art with Anacletus II, considered it so important for the history of Monte Cassino that he included a lengthy description and a reproduction, especially made for him in 1698, in his work, Hist.

87 Ladner, , op. cit. 213; Schramm, P. E., Kaiser, Rom und Renovatio (Studien der Bibliothek Warburg 17, Leipzig 1929) II 121f. — Schramm, , ibid.

Most striking is the case of Nicholas II; but Damasus II, Leo IX, Victor II, Stephen IX, too, have been mentioned in this connection To these names add: Clement II, Alexander II, Urban II, Gelasius II, Calixtus II, Celestine II (1124; on him see LPD 204f.; Klewitz, , Ende 401). It is readily seen that the names of the popes in the Pseudo-Isidorian collection — whose letters, stressing the primacy of the see of Rome, were a basic source for the theorists of the Reform — exercised particular attraction upon the popes of the century following the synod of Sutri (1046). Here we have also to look for the origin of the name of Anacletus II. Not the shadowy figure of the second successor of St. Peter, but the presumed author of the three letters of ‘Pope Anacletus’ who wrote ‘quod ecclesia Romana cardo et caput omnium sit ecclesiarum’ (Hinschius, P., Decretales pseudo-isidorianae, Leipzig 1863, 66–75), lent his name to Pierleone.Google Scholar

98 It would be difficult to assign a precise date to the Registrum Petri Diaconi, the compilation of which must have been preceded by time-consuming investigations in the archives of the monastery. The two preliminary lists of documents to be incorporated in the chartulary, which were discovered by Dom Mauro Inguanez (cf. Klewitz, , Archiv für Urkundenforschung 14 [1935/6] 442–4), are new evidence of this preparatory work, to which Peter himself refers in the prologue to his Vita s. Severi episcopi, dedicated to the same Abbot Seniorectus (PL 173.1071; cf. Wattenbach, MGH Script. 7.567). But large portions of the Reg. P. D. were already written in 1133: otherwise the Glanfeuil account (part V n° 4 infra) would not have been inserted toward the end of the book.

Zimmermann, following Poncelet, A., Analecta Bollandiana 25 (1906) 117–9, considers with justified skepticism the theory of A. Molinier published by Halphen, L., Revue historique 88 (1905) 287–95, according to which the body discovered in 845 (cf. n. 109 supra) was that of another Maurus who had come to Gaul under King Theudebert and was then identified with the disciple of St. Benedict known from Gregory the Great. As the sobriquet of Hrabanus ‘Maurus’ (given him by his teacher Alcuin) suggests, the name Maurus as derived from that of St. Benedict's pupil was popular about 800, and Glanfeuil is named already in the privilege of Rorigo (n. 106 supra) ‘monasterium Glanna, ubi beatus Christi confessor Maurus corpore quiescit.’ It is more than likely then that Rorigo and those who aided him associated the Maurus of Glanfeuil with the pupil of St. Benedict. There may well have been a local tradition of a Maurus connected with Glanfeuil in an earlier time, or the monastery may have been named in honor of the famous St. Maur — any time after the publication of Gregory the Great's Dialogi — just as many monasteries were then established in honor of St. Martin of Tours. The fifty years which elapsed between the destruction of Glanfeuil and its restoration by Rorigo were sufficient to obliterate any tradition about a local figure and to induce people to regard a monastery originally founded in honor of St. Maur as his personal creation.Google Scholar

Rannulfus first occurs on July 2, 1105 (Marchegay 367 n° 25). Other dated charters which bear his name are: Marchegay 384 n° 41 (1120), 366 n° 24 (1121), 380 n° 36 (1109–26, in the lifetime of Aremburga, wife of Fulco V), 361 n° 18 (1116/8–1125; cf. for this document Urseau, Ch., Cartulaire Noir de la Cathédrale d'Angers, Angers 1908, xlvi). He acts on March 1, 1123 as a witness to a donation to Saint-Aubin d'Angers (de Broussillon, B., Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Aubin d'Angers, Angers 1896–1903, II 176f. n° 681). He died on an August 21 (Martyrologe de Saint-Serge, communicated by Landreau, , Saint-Maur II 422 n. 4). On Peter the Deacon's Abbot Girard II cf. n. 140 infra. Drogo was in office, when Aremburga, wife of Fulco V, was still alive (she died on February 15, 1126) according to Marchegay 393 n. 53. He occurs for the last time in 1134 (Marchegay 382 n° 39). Of Marchegay 392 n° 52 it can be said that it is not earlier than December 20, 1125, the date of Ulger's consecration as bishop of Angers. In Marchegay 401 n° 60 it is clearly said that Drogo was succeeded by William, who certainly was in office by November 26, 1138 (Marchegay 394 n° 54). According to a document edited by M11e Chartrou, , op. cit. (cf. first footnote) 380 n° 48 (after a copy of 1650; two earlier copies were not seen by her), William would have been abbot as early as August 1135.

140 Caspar, , Petrus Diaconus 178; Chartrou (implicitly) 120; Kehr, IP 8.169 n° 204. Since Abbot Rannulfus figures in documents dated in 1105, 1120, 1121, and 1123 respectively (cf. n. 136 supra), Peter's information must be wrong: an Abbot Girard for the years 1119 and 1122 is out of the question. There exists, however, a donation of Fulco V, dated December 15, 1124, an alleged original preserved in the archives of the department Maine-et-Loire, in which an Abbot Girard appears (Marchegay, , Cart. 411 n° 67). But Landreau, , Saint-Maur II, 422f. rightly observed that this document is a clumsy forgery, a hodgepodge of the three privileges, Marchegay, , Cart. nos 22, 23, and 34. M11e Chartrou 120, 249 and 270 n. 61, failed here as everywhere else even to notice any controversy regarding the authenticity of this document. Although no dated document of Glanfeuil for the period between August 1123 and February 1126 has come down to us, it would be unjustifiable to insert a Girard II between Rannulfus and Drogo on the basis of this forgery. As for Peter the Deacon, the explanation of his error is simple: not knowing the name of the abbot of Glanfeuil in 1119 and 1122, he used at haphazard the name of Abbot Girard installed in 1096, which was familiar to him from the bull of 1096 (part V n° 5 b infra).

161 Caspar's remarks about the relationship between the two bulls of Anacletus and the Urban forgery (Petrus Diaconus 180f.) are largely incorrect, as are Kehr's in his publication of 1899; better IP 8.174 n. 230f.Google Scholar

152 Kehr's contrary opinion, to the effect that the Urban forgery is based on the second bull of Anacletus (Miscell. Cas. 2 [1899] 61) was accepted by Caspar (Petrus Diaconus 181f.), who regarded also the first bull of Anacletus as a source for the Urban forgery; it was retracted without proof by Kehr, IP 8.174 n° 230f. An examination of the interrelationship of the documents printed below (part V nos 5–7) will easily make it clear that Caspar's views cannot be maintained.Google Scholar

153 See the last portion of part V n° 6 infra, beginning with the words ‘Predecessorum ergo nostrorum Adriani, Nicolai et Urbani…’ It is difficult to understand, how Caspar, , Petrus Diaconus 181, could assert that Anacletus does not mention the Urban forgery in this bull.Google Scholar

154 For in the last part of the bull, which otherwise closely follows the genuine bull of Urban II, the dependence of Glanfeuil on Monte Cassino is briefly dealt with in the spirit of the Urban forgery (part V n° 7 infra). The transition within the sentence ‘Obeunte autem te nunc eius loci abbate…’ from the genuine bull of Urban (part V n° 5 b) to the Urban forgery (ibid. n° 5 a), beginning with the words, ‘apud Casinum secundum tenorem privilegiorum suorum benedicendum…’, is particularly instructive if one remembers that the corresponding passage in the first privilege of Anacletus (ibid. n° 6) entirely agrees with the Urban forgery.Google Scholar

155 The evident connection between these two documents was not noticed by Caspar, , Petrus Diaconus 181 nor by Kehr, , IP 8.174 n° 231. Cf. also the table at the end of this part, p. 212 infra. Google Scholar

156 The original section of papal bulls ends with n° 59 fol. 32r (Calixtus II, a. 1120) and an appendix of twelve excerpts from the Pseudo-Isidorian collection (fol. 32v-33v). The fols. 34r-37v contain later additions of papal privileges (not all entered at the same time), beginning with our Urban bull (n° 74 fol. 33v) and the list of the possessions of Glanfeuil (n° 75 fol. 34r). These additions may not go beyond Peter the Deacon's lifetime (Innocent II - Hadrian IV). The place assigned to the two Glanfeuil documents has an obvious bearing on the dating of the Reg. Petri Diac.; cf. n. 98 supra. Google Scholar

157 For the common deviations from the original bull in the copy of the Reg. Petri Diac, and the forgery (all of them of a casual character and therefore all the more convincing). I refer to the following footnotes to part V n° 5 infra: d, i, m, o, p, r, ii, jj, ll.Google Scholar

158 Peter used two, more probably three, documents for compiling the list in the Urban forgery (U), one of which is the list in his Registrum (part V n° 5 d infra). Various possessions occurred in more than one list, a fact that repeatedly escaped Peter's notice; hence some of the repetitions: U 87 (= d 56) = U 42; U 92 (= d 64) = U 28; U 95 (= d 67) = U 7; U 97 (= d 70) = U 17. U 48–98 are entirely derived from d. U 99–111 (cf. n. 160 and part V n° 5 a infra; only U 111 is not repetitious) may well go back to a third list. Ten items in the list of the Reg. Petri Diac. are marked with a cross, undoubtedly by Peter himself, probably to check possessions which occurred in his other main list; for nine out of the ten items so marked are now found in the first part of the Urban list (U 7–9, 19, 26–7, 35–6, 44). — Landreau, , Saint-Maur I 201–5, identified most of the possessions of the bull of Anastasius IV (part V n° 13). He did not endeavor to extend his investigation to the list of the Urban forgery. Here all the material for a more thorough toponomastic study has been given which in itself lies outside the scope of the present discussion. The concordances in part V, nos 5 a, d, 7, and 13 will perhaps facilitate such an undertaking.Google Scholar

However, Peter may not have been aware of the identity of 32 and 102–10, which is obvious only to someone familiar with the document of Anowareth.

It probably had been lost in the two centuries before 1096 and was never reacquired afterwards.Google Scholar

223 Part V n° 9 b-c infra. The new documents solve the chronology of the two abbots with the name of William who succeeded each other in Glanfeuil. Up to now all that was known was the valuable notice preserved in the Historia Sancti Florentii Salmurensis, Recueil 14 (1877) 507 (this edition supersedes Marchegay, , Chroniques des églises d'Anjou 2, Paris 1869, 307): ‘Sub eiusdem (scil. Abbot Matthew of Saint-Florent, 1128–56) quoque tempore quidam de fratribus nostris Fulcandus nomine, sacrista huius ecclesiae, apud sanctum Iulianum in abbatem promotus est (about 1134: Denis, Abbé L.-J., Chartes de Saint-Julien de Tours (1002–1227), Archives historiques du Maine 12, Le Mans 1912, 100 n. 78; cf. Landreau, , Saint-Maur II 426 n. 3). Alius insuper sacrista noster Guillelmus de Gasconia, et post ipsum alius Guillelmus de Normannia, apud sanctum Maurum abbatis dignitatem et officium susceperunt.’ This passage gives us as a fairly safe terminus ante quem for William II's election the year 1156; terminus post quem is the year 1144, in which William I was in office, ‘abbas qui ei (scil. Drogoni) in regimine successit’ (Marchegay, , Cart. de Saint-Maur 401 n° 60). — Now we learn that the date of the election of William II was actually 1147. The two memoranda (part V n° 9 b and c infra) are undated, but almost certainly belong to the very year in which the events reported in them took place (1147: cf. part Vn° 9 a infra), unless they are to be connected with Simon's second mission in 1149 (cf. n. 224–5 infra). Simon was a relative of Abbot Raynald: part V n° 11 infra: ‘consanguineo vestro.’ — Earlier speculations about the date of the election of William II can be disregarded. Caspar and Kehr were not aware of the existence of two abbots bearing this name. For the chronology of the earlier abbots of Glanfeuil cf. nn. 136 and 140 supra. Google Scholar

224 Eugene III refers to his earlier letter in the mandatum, part V n° 10, and it seems reasonable to identify this earlier letter with the document summarized in part V 9 a, and perhaps alluded to at the end of the two memoranda, part V nos 9 b-c.Google Scholar

225 Part V n° 10 infra. The two missions of Simon are certain. The second bull of Eugene III presupposes that William II had been in office for some time in 1149, and Simon had played, as we have seen, an important part on the occasion of the election of this abbot. Since the pope announces now — in 1149 — Simon's visit to Glanfeuil, it is clear that this must be his second mission, although the wording of the two documents, part V nos 10 and 11, in no way implies a previous stay of Simon in Glanfeuil.Google Scholar

245 The foregoing information is derived from Abbot Richard's letter (Part V n° 21 infra) which, as the Gallicism ‘saisire fecit’ shows, largely recapitulates Peter's own request, and from the bull of Innocent IV, part V n° 22 infra. The interpretation of the quinquennial visit in the correspondence between the two abbots is new and a realistic modification of Peter the Deacon's original extravagant ‘omnibus quinque annis’ (cf. part V nos 4 a, b, e, 5 a, 6,8; ‘singulis quinquenniis’ nos 13–14). It now means a visit which a newly elected abbot of Glanfeuil has to pay within the first five years of office. — For other implications of the letter of Abbot Richard cf. the Appendix following part IV.Google Scholar
