Litterae papali nellArchivio della Curia Generale dellOrdine dei Frati Minori di Roma (1228-1261). Inventario e regesto (41-87)

Descrizione

This article describes 68 papal letters of the thirteenth century, addressed to the Order of Friars Minor by Popes Gregory IX, Innocent IV and Alexander IV. These originals are currently preserved in the Archives of the General Curia OFM in Rome. Although the content of almost all the documents is known to the scientific community through the editions of Wadding and Sbaraglia, it is interesting to note that their dating partly differs from the texts of their counterparts in the Annales Minorum and in the Bullarium. Equally interesting are the chancellery notes, among which can be found various references to Cardinal Giangaetano Orsini, who was to become a key-player within Franciscan history between ca. 1260-80.
