Bishops have always played a central role in the making and enforcement of the law of the Church, and none more so than the bishop of Rome. From convening and presiding over church councils to applying canon law in church courts, popes and bishops have exercised a decisive influence on the history of that law. This book, a selection of Anne J. Duggan’s most significant studies on the history of canon law, highlights the interactive role of popes and bishops, and other prelates, in the development of ecclesiastical law and practice between 1120 and 1234. This emphasis directly challenges the pervasive influence of the concept of ‘papal monarchy’, in which popes, and not diocesan bishops and their legal advisers, have been seen as the driving force behind the legal transformation of the Latin Church in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Contrary to the argument that the emergence of the papacy as the primary judicial and legislative authority in the Latin Church was the result of a deliberate programme of papal aggrandizement, the principal argument of this book is that the processes of consultation and appeal reveal a different picture: not of a relentless papal machine but of a constant dialogue between diocesan bishops and the papal Curia, in which the ‘papal machine’ evolved to meet the demand.

In seeming contrast to the Christian ban on cursing, medieval documents reveal the existence of an 'Ecclesia maledicens,' which publicly staged the spiritual and social effects of ecclesiastical excommunication. Christian Jaser focuses on the symbolic, rhetorical and gestural intellectual workshop of the ecclesiastical power to curse and excommunicate, thereby reflecting the changing practices, functions and media contexts. For terminological and methodological reasons, it is necessary to distinguish ritual from ceremonial forms of excommunication, each of which creates realities and meanings of its own. On this basis, Christian Jaser traces the historical genesis of these performative modes of excommunication to the late medieval papal court, where they were transformed into a key event for the representation of universal demands for disciplinary action. In scheinbarem Gegensatz zum christlichen Fluchverbot liegt im Mittelalter der Befund einer 'Ecclesia maledicens' vor, die die spirituellen und sozialen Folgewirkungen der kirchlichen Exkommunikation öffentlichkeitswirksam inszenierte. Im Zentrum der Analyse von Christian Jaser steht der Blick in die symbolische, rhetorische und gestische Werkstatt kirchlicher Fluch- und Exkommunikationsgewalt im Wandel der Anwendungshorizonte, Funktionsbestimmungen und medialen Kontexte. Begrifflich und methodologisch wesentlich ist hierfür, rituelle von historisch nachgängigen zeremoniellen Exkommunikationsformen zu unterscheiden, die performativ jeweils eigene Realitäten und Bedeutungen schaffen. Auf dieser Grundlage zeichnet Christian Jaser die historische Genese eines Inszenierungsrepertoires nach, das am spätmittelalterlichen Papsthof zu einem zentralen Repräsentationsereignis universaler Disziplinierungsansprüche transformiert wurde.
