The Council of Piacenza is among the most important moments of the
Reform that was sweeping through the Western Church at the end of
the eleventh century. It is often regarded as a launching pad for
the First Crusade, though the matter is obscure and serves only to
hide the assembly's true significance as a turning point in the
papal schism between Popes Gregory VII/Urban II and the so-called
anti-pope Clement III. The canons promulgated at Piacenza became
landmarks not only for the eleventh- and twelfth-century Reform,
but more broadly for the Church of the High Middle Ages and even
beyond.
Robert Somerville situates Piacenza in historical context,
discusses the sources, the attendance, and the need for a new
edition of the legislation. The official canons are lost, but
several dozen twelfth-century manuscripts were consulted for a new
edition of these provisions. The account finishes with a commentary
on Piacenza's legislation and a discussion of the subsequent
legislation of Urban II's synods. Somerville completes the picture
of what can be known about the papal synods of one of the most
influential Roman pontiffs of the Middle Ages.
