MARITAL DISPENSATION IN XVII AND XVIII CENTURY
Keywords:
Archiv Birta, catholic church, discourse control, Italy, pope bullas, marital dispensation, penitentiary, 17th and 18th centuriesAbstract
During the evaluation of medieval manuscripts in the historical archives of Birta in Resita, Romania, a collection of papal bullas has been discovered, issued by the Catholic Church from the 11th to the 20th centuries. Within this collection, it was possible to identify and to extract documents that refer to different countries, in different periods and on different topics. Special attention of the researchers was attracted by the papal letters of marital dispensation concerning applications sent from various Italian cities during the 17th and 18th centuries. Prior to their analysis, an attempt was made to well describe the social context in which the letters were created, and then to determine an adequate theoretical framework for the study of the above mentioned letters, which will be applied to the concrete material in the next paper. In this paper, the main factors influencing the emergence of these letters, the general relation of the Catholic Church to marriage, the mechanisms of the Catholic Church to resolve the dispensation issue, as well as the main features of the medieval Italian society in the mentioned period, have been highlighted.
