70-420: A dowry settlement in hexameter verse. Roman and Gothic law are followed either separately or together, according to the nationality of the covenanters. This collection was published in 1854 by de Rozière from a Madrid Manuscript, which was copied in turn from an Oviedo Manuscript of the 12th century, now lost. The Franks had numerous formulae. These included: In Rome the most important of all ancient formularies

105-430: A purely academic nature, but their number is small; in almost every case they are taken from real documents, in the transcription of which the individualizing references were suppressed so as to make them take on the appearance of general formulae; in many instances nothing was suppressed. The formulae deal with public documents: royal decrees on civil matters, ordinances etc.; with documents relative to legal processes and

140-417: Is a genuine formulary, though standing apart by itself. This collection dates from before 538 (P. L., LXIX). The Servite Canciani took ninety-two of these formulae of Cassiodorus and included them in his "Barbarorum leges antiquæ" (Venice, 1781, I, 19-56). Formulæ Visigothicæ , a collection of the forty-Six formulae made under King Sisebut (612-621). The king's name occurs twice in the curious formula xx,

If it was not drawn up for the papal chancery but copies its documents and is largely compiled from the "Registrum" or letter-book of St. Gregory the Great (590-604). It was certainly in official use by the Roman chancery from the ninth to the end of the 11th century. This collection

Those charged with the execution and expedition of such documents come naturally to employ the same formulae in similar cases; moreover,

245-596: Is the "Breviarium de dictamine" of Alberic of Monte Cassino , about 1075; in the 12th century treatises of this kind become more frequent, first in Italy, then in France, especially along the Loire at Orléans and at Tours . In addition to these, special treatises were written for the use of clerks in different chanceries, and formularies to guide notaries public. Such are the "Formularium tabellionum" of Irnerius of Bologna in

280-444: Is usually known as the "style" or habitual diction of chanceries and the documents that issue therefrom. It represents long efforts to bring into the document all necessary and useful elements in their most appropriate order, and to use technical expressions suited to the case, some of them more or less essential, others merely as a matter of tradition. In this way arose a true art of drafting public documents or private acta, which became

315-577: The Dataria Apostolica , published in 1901 as "Formulæ Apostolicæ Datariæ pro matrimonialibus dispensationibus, jussu Emi. Card. Pro Datarii Cajetani Aloisi-Masella reformatæ". Lastly, in a different order of ideas it may be well to mention a collection of formulae for use in episcopal courts, the "Formularium legalepracticum" of Francesco Monacelli (Venice, 1737), re-edited by the Camera Apostolica (3 vols. fol., Rome, 1834). From

350-648: The Poenitentiaria have a higher interest for us; they appear during the 12th century when that department of Roman administration was not yet restricted to questions of conscience and the forum internum, but served as a sort of clearing-house for lesser favours granted by the Holy See, especially for dispensations . These interesting documents, including the formularies, have been collected and edited by Göller in "Die papstliche Poenitentiarie bis Eugen IV." (Rome, 1907). Previously, Lea had published "A Formulary of

385-548: The 12th century onward the formularies of the papal Curia become more numerous but less interesting, since it is no longer necessary to have recourse to them to supplement the documents. The formularies of the Cancellaria Apostolica are collections drawn up by its clerks, almost exclusively for their own guidance; they interest us only through their relation to the "Rules of the Chancery". The formularies of

At the papal chancery , in general very faithful to its customs and its "style", after the reform of Innocent III many formularies and practical treatises appeared, none of them possessing an official value. The writings of Dietrich of Nieheim (an employee of

455-465: The 19th century, especially by two savants who compiled collections of them: Between the 6th and the 9th centuries, various barbarian kingdoms used different formulae. Cassiodorus, secretary and afterwards prime minister of King Theodoric , included in his "Variarum (epistolarum) libri XII", particularly in books six and seven, and, as he says, for the guidance of his successors, a great number of acta and letters drawn up by him for his royal master. It

490-630: The Letters (Variæ) of Cassiodorus , and the St. Gall collection "Sub Salomone", they are written in careless or even barbarous Latin, though it is possible that their wretched "style" is intentional, so as to render them intelligible to the multitude. The formularies of the Middle Ages date from the 6th to the 9th or 10th century, and many still survive. Many were edited in the 17th century by Jérôme Bignon , Baluze , Mabillon and others; and many more in

525-567: The Papal Penitentiary in the Thirteenth Century" (Philadelphia, 1892), probably the work of Thomasius of Capua (died 1243). The "Summa de absolutionibus et dispensationibus" of Nicholas IV is also important; of particular value also is the formulary of Benedict XII (1336 at the latest), made by order of that pope and long in use. It contains five hundred and seventy letters of which more than two hundred are taken from

560-699: The Pseudo-Demetrius' Typoi epistolikoi, Pseudo-Libanius' Epistolimaioi kharacteres, Demetrius ' Peri hermeneias, Philostratus of Lemnos ' treatise, and Gregory of Nazianus ' Epistle 51. During the Latin medieval period, the standing assumption was that these writings would be composed in Latin , and according to well worked-out models. This made the arts of composition a subfield of rhetoric . Medieval letter writing developed for ecclesiastical, government, and business purposes. Important figures in

595-462: The administration of church property, the grant of the pallium and various other privileges. Then follow models for the official correspondence on the occasion of a vacancy of the Holy See and the election of a pope, also directions for the consecration and the profession of faith of the pope-elect; finally a group of formulae affecting various matters of ecclesiastical administration. In the 10th century these formularies cease to be in universal use; in

630-427: The administration of justice; or with private deeds drawn up by a notary: sales, exchanges, gifts to churches and monasteries, transference of ecclesiastical property, the manumission of slaves, the settlement of matrimonial dowries, the execution of wills etc. Finally, there are deeds which refer solely to ecclesiastical concerns: consecrations of churches, blessings of various kinds, excommunications, etc. The study of

665-506: The chancery in 1380), "De Stilo" and "Liber Cancellariæ", have been the subject of critical studies. At a more recent date many treatises on the Roman chancery and on pontifical letters were published, but they are not formularies, though their text often contains many models. However, there has appeared an official publication of certain formulae of the Roman Curia, i. e. the collection of formulae for matrimonial dispensations granted by

700-555: The collection of Thomasius. Attention is also directed to the list of "faculties" conferred, in 1357, on Cardinal Albornoz , first edited by Lecacheux in "Mélanges d'Archéologie et d'Histoire des écoles françaises de Rome et d'Athènes", in 1898; and to later texts in Göller . The taxœ or "taxes" in use at the Poenitentiaria , to which were occasionally joined those imposed by the Cancellaria, were presumably not in any way related to

735-410: The earliest forms of it go back to the end of the 7th century. Von Sickel holds that its opening formulae (1-63) are even fifty years earlier than that date. It is badly arranged as a collection, but wonderfully complete. After a series of addresses and conclusions for papal letters, varied according to the addressees, there are formulae concerning the installation of bishops, the consecration of churches,

770-719: The early development of Latin letter writing and document composition include Alberic of Monte Cassino ( Dictaminum radii, Breviarium ), his critic Adalbert of Samaria ( Praecepta dictaminum , c. 1120), Hugh of Bologna ( Rationes dictandi prosaice, c.1120), Anonymous' Aurea gemma (c.1119), Anonymous' Rationes dictandi (1135), Anonymous' Precepta prosaici dictaminis secundum Tullium (c. 1140), Bernard of Romagna's Introductiones prosaici dictaminis (1145), Anonymous' Ad plenam scientiam dictaminum (c.1140) , and Baldwin's Liber de dictaminibus (c.1150). Guido Faba ( Summa dictaminis , c.1228) and Lawrence of Aquilegia ( Practica sive usus dictaminis , c.1300) are later representatives of

805-671: The eleventh, recourse is had to them still more rarely; other methods of training notaries are introduced. Copies of letters are no longer placed before them. In their stead, special treatises of instruction are prepared for these officials, and manuals of epistolary rhetoric appear, with examples scattered here and there throughout the text, or collected in separate books. Such treatises on composition, artes dictaminis , have hitherto been only partially studied and classified, notably by Ludwig von Rockinger  [ de ] in "Briefsteller und Formelbücher des XI. bis XIV. Jahrhunderts" (Munich, 1863). The most ancient of these manuals known to us

New York: Robert Appleton Company. Ars dictandi Ars dictaminis (or ars dictandi ) is the art of letter-writing, which often intersects with the art of rhetoric .

875-417: The genre. Letter conventions include some form of address (e.g., “Worshipful master”); salutation (“I greet you well”); notification (“May it please you to know”); exposition (“the wool was shipped”); disposition (“and I want my money”); and valediction (“May God keep you well, at least until my bill is paid”). Clerks and scribes wrote the letters based on those rules. Renaissance letter writing, inspired by

910-411: The imperial chanceries of Rome and Byzantium were more remarkable still for their formulae. The chanceries of the barbarian kingdoms and that of the papacy followed in their footsteps. Nevertheless, it is usually not directly from the chanceries that the formularies drawn up in the Middle Ages have come down to us, but rather from the monastic and ecclesiastical schools. Therein was taught, as pertaining to

945-442: The medieval formularies is of importance for the history of legislation, the rise of institutions, the development of manners and customs, of civil history, above all for the criticism of charters and diplomas, and for researches in medieval philology. In those times the ecclesiastical and civil orders were closely related. Many civil functions and some of the highest state offices were held by ecclesiastics and monks. The ars dictandi

980-411: The monopoly of chanceries and notaries, which the mere layman could only imperfectly imitate, and which in time developed to such a point that the mere "style" of a supposititious deed has often been sufficient to enable a skilful critic to detect the forgery. The earlier Roman notaries ( tabelliones ) had their own traditional formulae, and the drafting of their acta was subject to an infinity of detail;

1050-439: The study of law, the art of drafting public and private documents. It was called dictare as opposed to scribere , i. e. the mere material execution of such documents. To train the dictatores , as they were known, specimens of public and private acta were placed before them, and they had to listen to commentaries thereon. Thus arose the yet extant formularies, between the 5th and the 9th centuries. These models were sometimes of

1085-511: The use of such formulae permits the drafting of important documents to be entrusted to minor officials, since all they have to do is to insert in the allotted space the particular information previously supplied them. Finally, in this way every document is clothed with all possible efficiency, since each of its clauses, and almost every word, has a meaning clearly and definitely intended. Uncertainties and difficulties of interpretation are thus avoided, and not infrequently lawsuits. This legal formalism

1120-597: The work which was officially stopped and suppressed on the eve of its appearance, because it contained an ancient profession of faith in which the popes anathematized their predecessor Honorius. In 1680 the Jesuit Jean Garnier , using another manuscript of the College of Clermont (Paris), brought out an edition of the "Liber diurnus" not approved by Rome (P. L., CV). In the 19th century the Vatican manuscript

1155-590: Was known to the medieval canonists, and is often quoted by Cardinal Deusdedit and Yves of Chartres ; four of its documents were incorporated into the "Decretum" of Gratian. The best manuscript of the "Liber diurnus", written at the beginning of the 9th century, comes from the Roman monastery of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme and was discovered in the Vatican Library. About the middle of the 17th century, Lucas Holstenius used it when preparing an edition of

1190-464: Was taught in the schools connected with the monasteries and those under ecclesiastical control. For quite a long time all acta were drawn up only in Latin , and as the vernacular languages, in Romance lands, gradually fell away from classical Latin, recourse to ecclesiastics and monks became a matter of necessity. The formularies are of course anything but models of good Latinity; with the exception of

1225-476: Was utilized for two editions, one by de Rozière (Paris, 1869), the other by Theodor von Sickel (Vienna, 1889).
