A boszniai káptalan kiadatlan oklevelei : (1300-1353)

Absztrakt

The Bosnian bishopric was mentioned in charters of the 11th century first time. There are debates whether it belonged to the Roman Catholic or the Byzantian church. In the 12th century more and more bogumil heretics migrated to Bosnia, meanwhile the Hungarian kings began to pay attention to that area because of the lesser Byzantian influence. In the end oft he 12th and in the beginning of the 13th century Pope Innocent III and the Hungarian kings together fought against the Bosnian heretics, and they tried to introduce ecclesiastical and secular consolidation in these areas. Black friars were the first bishops of Hungarian Bosnia due to heretical danger, in 1238 a new chapter was organized and the construction of the cathedral began in Brdo in the region of the present-day Sarajevo. In 1247 however the bishop and his chapter had to escape because of the growing number of heretics, thus they settled down in Diakóvár (Valkó county) which was given to them by Duke Kálmán in the second half of the 1230s. After the loss of their Bosnian territories the bishops improved their lands in Valkó county to a bishopric, thus they managed to remain the members of the prelate. The Bosnian chapter issued charters as well. They served as „loca credibilia" which at that time were the equivalent of the Western European notarys. There are data about the activity of this chapter since 1293, its first charters remained since 1300. Beside the list of the charters of the first 50 years, this essay containes the short summaries and the original latin versions of 17 unpublished charters.
