This volume investigates the registers of fifteenth-century
supplications to the Apostolic Penitentiary of the Holy See and
presents an analysis of a multiplicity of issues in which a context
of the local needs of Western Christians and the central power of
the Pope occurred. The contributions make it clear that local and
individual factors and the Christian faith and religion in practice
must not be seen as separate from the global power of the Roman
curia. The latter's influence could become directly important for
any individual in any local space, even ... et usque ad ultimum
terrae (Acts 1: 8), in the utmost peripheries of the Christian
world. It is shown that the assistance of the Apostolic
Penitentiary was indispensable in a large variety of cases. Such
cases were dealt with both in the local, regional space and in the
globalized centre of the Holy See.
