  • Résumé : CCCC MS 445 contains a fourteenth-century copy of the Summa dictaminis secundum stilum romanae curiae by Richard de Pophis (Pofi) (fl. c. 1256-71), a handbook for the writing of ecclesiastical letters and documents with special reference to the form of words to be employed at the conclusion of each sentence. Known as the Cursus, this may have originated as a way to try to prevent crude forgery of papal documents, but by the time that this copy of Richard's work was copied, it had become a rigid system of stylistic conventions which necessitated handbooks to ensure its proper employment.

Notes

Data Source: Parker on the Web

  • Research: Though ascribed by late notes to Laurentius of Aquileia, the treatise appears to be that of Ricardus de Pophis or de Rosis (as contained in MS. Merton 194 C. C. C. Oxford 55, etc.).
  • Additions: f. ir is a slip with the note printed by Nasmith
  • Additions: Hic liber non indignus qui in quibusdam legatur, ut melius intelligas gravamen intolerabile de provisionibus papae, sed hoc restinxit Edwardus III
