Supplicationes originales, 1480-1898.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145567428

These are requests concerning different matters, particularly marital dispensations and vacant sees. According to Pasztor, the supplications in this series come from every part of the Catholic world and pertain to every kind of grace. He notes that they provide important information concerning the ecclesiastical and religious life of various countries. He also notes that they are drawn up according to what he calls the stylus curiae. On the back of the original supplications, one finds information regarding the volume of the supplication registers in which that supplication was transcribed. Often, however, the original supplication is the only document of a grace, because so many volumes of registers have been lost. Pasztor is useful for a sample of supplications from early modern South and Central America. Pasztor has noted a supplication from Mariana Ferdandez de Loiasa, who asks to entrust her legal suit concerning her inheritance to an ecclesiastical tribunal (August 13, 1668) and a supplication from a secular cleric from Lima who wants to be ordained "extra-tempora" (September 10, 1668). More generally Pasztor's selection includes: concessions of indulgences for the establishment of confraternities, dispensations for illegitimacy for clerics seeking the priesthood and a master of theology, a request for an extension of long-term rent arrangement and other requests for intervention in financial matters, enfiteusi, a dispensation for Jewish origins from a supplicant seeking the priesthood who was born a Jew (1668) in San Salvador in the Indies, and numerous supplications for indulgences presented by Latin-American confraternities in the eighteenth century. The series appears to begin with Alexander VI at SF/148, where project staff found mazze bound with ribbon and paper. On the paper was written "Supplicationes pro diversis gratiis" and then Fiat A or Beneficiales. Range 148-149 goes from Alexander VI to Pius VII (1804), but material is only organized by type and bound in clear new paper through Alexander VII (1659). Range 132 has similar eighteenth-century material bound by type, and Range 172 has similar eighteenth-century material organized by type and unorganized. There is much more than noted by Boyle, et al.

As early as the fourteenth century, the precise date on which the pope granted a particular favor was often a matter of crucial importance. The dating of the supplication, which could be also antedated, signaled the moment from which the grant of the grace had juridical validity. This became important if the same benefice was granted to two persons, because the earliest dated concession generally carried priority. There were other instances where a date might be important, for examp...
