The Influence of Papal Literacy on the Charters of Papal Judge-Delegates in Hungary in the First Half of the 13th Century

Abstract

The paper is a short contribution to the research on the influence the papal literacy exerted on the charters issued by Hungarian papal judge-delegates in the first half of the 13th century. The main aim of this topic is to identify how and to what extent the characteristics of papal mandates were reflected in the phrases of the relevant Hungarian documents. Furthermore, is it also important to examine how the delegates expressed the importance of their papal authorisation.
