Guglielmo Sirleto has generally been acknowledged as a crucial
contributor to defending the papacy’s claims over St Peter’s
primacy, including the apostle’s legendary arrival to Rome before
his martyrdom. Sirleto established himself as a pivotal prelate,
who assisted Pope Paul IV in rearranging the ceremonial apparatus
for the solemn celebrations of the Cathedra Petri (St Peter’s
Throne). Scholars, however, were unable to properly examine his De
praestantia basilicae Vaticanae, because the manuscripts of this
discourse were never completely identified. The edition of this
treatise will therefore primarily provide a reconstruction of
Sirleto’s working methods in readjusting the ceremonial
solemnities prescribed for the feast day of the Cathedra Petri
according to Curial Ceremony. The second discourse concerns, on the
other hand, a description of the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore
on the Esquiline Hill, which Sirleto composed for the Cardinal
Bishop of Milan, Carlo Borromeo. In contrast to the edition of the
first discourse in this volume, the Trattato sopra la chiesa di
Santa Maria Maggiore is presented according to the correspondence
between Borromeo and Sirleto.
