Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lives of the Popes in the Early Middle Ages, Vol. 3 Sources. - The contemporary life in the Liber Pontificalis is distinguished from those immediately preceding it by the fact that it devotes much less space to the enumeration of church restorations, and that, though the usual excuse for turning to the Pope´s church offerings is brought forward, viz., the inability of the writer to record all that Nicholas accomplished in other directions, it gives much more space to his political and other actions. It is remarkable, too, by its frequent reference to the sources, viz., the pontifical archives, whence its materials were drawn. These distinguishing features were in all likelihood added by the famous cardinal librarian Anastasius; so that this is perhaps the only life in the Liber Pontificalis which may be attributed to the man to whom for a very long period the whole of it used to be assigned. Of the first importance for the biography of Nicholas are such of his numerous letters as the ravages of time have spared. Of these, inclusive of fragments, 159 have been published in the P. L., t. 119, 3 in t. 129, and 2 more in the Biblioth. Casinensis, iv. p. 358 ff. In one of the last-named letters to the spatharius Michael there is an allusion to the Greek habit of tampering with documents so frequently denounced by Nicholas.
