This is a study of the history and function of the highest
ecclesiastical tribunal, the Sacra Romana Rota, from the twelfth to
the sixteenth centuries. Despite its importance for Christendom and
in contrast with other important papal offices, the activity of the
Rota has never been thoroughly investigated on the basis of
archival sources, in large part due to the vast source material and
the perceived "difficulty" of the subject. This book fills this
significant gap by explaining how the Rota functioned-its
organization, the phases of a Rota process, everyday practices at
the tribunal-and the kinds of issues it handled, where the
processes originated from and how long they lasted. The study
demonstrates that the Rota dealt with a range of cases much broader
than has previously been acknowledged, whilst also confirming that
the tribunal mainly oversaw litigation over benefices. The results
of this research reveal the true role of the Rota and its
significance for Christians from the middle ages to the dawn of the
Reformation.
