Abstract

Promissory Notes on the Treasury of Merits is a volume of 12 essays by a distinguished team of international scholars dealing with the place of indulgences in the religious life of Europe between roughly 1250 and the outbreak of the Reformation. Some of the articles offer regional analyses, stretching from Spain to the Netherlands, from England to Bohemia and Italy. Others deal with the theology and theological and practical controversies provoked by indulgences, or with thematic issues like the place of indulgences in fifteenth-century crusades, in pilgrimage, and the early exploitation of print in their distribution. The complementary nature of the articles builds into a fuller picture of the central, but hitherto neglected, role which indulgences had in late medieval European religious life.

Abstract

Catholics and Protestants have disputed the validity and legitimacy of papal plenary indulgences for 500 years without a unitary corpus of the relevant texts documenting the indulgence campaigns which so exercised Luther and his contemporaries. This volume prints for the first time in a modern edition the full text of all available papal bulls and brevia between 1300 and 1517 which granted plenary indulgences (i.e. those which cancelled all previously accrued temporal punishment due to sin), the instructions to the commissioners on how to preach (and defend) the indulgences and conduct the campaigns, and finally the extensions of indulgence campaigns. The Regnum Teutonicum provides the geographical framework, since it includes all the areas where the Reformation initially broke out.

Abstract

Martin Luthers Thesen gegen den Ablass gaben 1517 den Anstoß zur Reformation. Weniger bekannt ist die lange Vorgeschichte der Ablassverkündung in der spätmittelalterlichen Kirche. Der auf eine im Rahmen der Lutherdekade geförderte interdisziplinäre Tagung in Rom 2015 zurückgehende Band beleuchtet den Kontext des Ablassstreites vor dem Hintergrund der weitverbreiteten Ablasskampagnen, die schon in den beiden Jahrhunderten davor im Kirchenleben etabliert waren. Protagonisten der Ablassverkündung waren nicht nur die den Ablass ausstellenden Päpste und Bischöfe, sondern auch die Orden und diverse Laiengruppen, die die Erträgnisse in verschiedensten Bereichen - vom Brückenbau bis zur Versorgung von Notleidenden in Hospitälern - investierten. Untersuchungsschwerpunkt sind die theologischen, kirchenrechtlichen, sozialen, ökonomischen und kulturellen Aspekte des Ablasses und seiner Verkündung im Spätmittelalter. Ab dem 13. Jahrhundert entwickelten Theologen und Kanonisten die Lehre vom "Kirchenschatz". Kritik am Ablass und seinen Auswüchsen wurde schon früh geübt und von Jan Hus zu einem ersten Höhepunkt geführt. Die Statements des Runden Tischs eröffnen außerdem Perspektiven für den interkonfessionellen Dialog zum noch immer aktuellen Thema.
