    Epist. no. 114 to Adelaide of Turin [1064]
    Epist. no. 141 to the chaplains of Duke Godfrey [1066], which also refers to simony

one MS
    Vaticano, BAV, Vat. lat. 3830, fol. 17r-19v (saec. xi)

Humbert is the most likely francigena author of this letter to a Byzantine official in Calabria, since the sentiments in the letter are closely tied to those later expressed in the Adversus simoniacos; he also bore the hopeful title of archbishop of Sicily in 1050.

BHL 4818: the vita was begun around 1050, after Bruno was elected pope, but completed a decade later.  Potential authorship has included Humbert of Silva Candida and Wibert, abbot of St-Èvre, though the author is unknown.

Other contemporary hagiographical texts on Leo IX, which place a greater emphasis on his death (19 Apr. 1054) and posthumous miracles circulated under the authorship of the Roman subdeacon Libuin (BHL 4821a-f) and the bishop of Cervia (BHL 4818m).


ca. 1065–1075 Collectio in LXXIV titulos digesta

ca. 1065–ca. 1075 canon law Italian? Burgundian?
Collectio in LXXIV titulos digesta [Collection in 74 titles]
ed. J.T. Gilchrist, Diversorum patrum sententiae; sive, Collectio in LXXIV titulos digesta, Monumenta iuris canonici, ser. B, Corpus collectionum 1 (Vatican, 1973)

nineteen full, thirteen partial MSS according to L. Kéry 1999, 204–207

Both precise dating and location have not been established.


  1065–1106 Henry IV et al. Epistolae

1065–1106 letters imperial court
Henry IV, king of the Germans (1056–1106), Emperor of the Romans (1084–1106)/Gottschalk of Aachen et al.
Epistolae [Letters]
ed. C. Erdmann, MGH Dt. MA 1: 7–64 (link)

The MS tradition for the letters is complex and varied; one must consult Erdmann's edition.  Over half of the letters (23 of 42) are retained in the Codex Udalrici (Wien, ÖNB, Cod. 398; Wien, ÖNB, Cod. 611; Zwettl, Stiftsbibliothek, 283; München, BSB, clm 4594).  Two letters to Abbot Hugh of Cluny (nos. 37 & 38) are preseved in the original: Paris, BnF, lat. 11826, nos. 4 & 7.

According to Erdmann and von Gladiss 1939, the following were composed by the dictator Gottschalk of Aachen: nos. 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 32, & 33.

The first letter comes from 1056, when the king was only 6.  The dating above begins with Epist. no. 2.


  1070–1089 Lanfranc of Canterbury Epistolae

1070–1089 letters Canterbury
Lanfranc, archbishop of Canterbury (1070–1089)
Epistolae [Letters]
ed. & trans. H. Clover and M. Gibson (Oxford, 1979)
PL 150: 515–550 (link)

one MS (complete)
    London, BL, Cotton Nero A. VII, fol. 1-39v (ca. 1100)

thirteen partial MSS + five (post-1500): see Clover and Gibson.

Only a handful of Lanfranc's 59 letters concern the Investiture Controversy, though his correspondents include Gregory VII and Hugh Candidus.  In a letter to the latter (no. 52) from the 1080s, Lanfranc remarks that England is undecided on the issue: Nondum enim insula nostra priorem refutavit, nec utrum huic oboedire debeat sententiam promulgavit. Audistis utrinque causis, si ita contigerit, perspicacius quid fieri oporteat pervideri valebat.


1072–1077 Arnulf of Milan Liber gestorum recentium

1072–1077 history Milan
Arnulf of Milan
Liber gestorum recentium [Book of recent deeds]
ed. C. Zey, MGH SRG 67 (Hannover, 1994): 109–234 (link)

four MSS
    Milano, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, H 89 inf., 58v-72r (saec. xv)
    Modena, Biblioteca Estense Universitaria, lat. 9 (alfa.Q.7.31), fol. 1r-34r (saec. xiii2)
    New Haven, Beinecke Library, 642, fol. 63v-75v (saec. xiv)
    Pommersfelden, Gräflich von Schönbornsche Bibliothek, 98 (2802) I, fol. 1r-31r (saec. xiii)

eight MSS (post-1500): see Zey


1072–ca. 1100   [Tractatus de simonia] "Verba sanctorum patrum..."

1072–ca. 1100 polemic unknown
[Tractatus de simonia] "Verba sanctorum patrum..."  [Treatise on Simony]
ed. S. Hellmann, in Neues Archiv 30 (1905): 24–33 (link)

one MS
    Bernkastel-Kues, Bibliothek des St.-Nikolaus Hospitals, cod. 52 (olim C 14 nunc 37), fol. 221r-227v (followed by four works of Bernold of Constance, fol. 228-241)

This would appear to be the sole surviving text to allow for some form of "payment" for ecclesiastical office. Dating comes from Hoffmann in Deutsches Archiv 15 (1959), n. 14 (link), since it is after Peter Damiani's death; it is likely a product of later in the eleventh century.


1073–1080 Berthold of Reichenau Chronicon (recensio II)

1073–1080 history Reichenau
Berthold of Reichenau (†1088)
Chronicon (recensio II) [Chronicle, second recension]
ed. I.S. Robinson, MGH SRG ns 14: 163–381 (link)

four MSS of the second recension (one MS from St. Gall of the first)
    Engelberg, Stiftsbibliothek, 9 (saec. xii) = B
    London, BL, Egerton 1944 = C
    Sarnen, Benediktinerkollegium, Membr. 10 (saec. xii) = B
    Wien, ÖNB, Cod. 540 = C
    Wien, ÖNB, Cod. 3399 = A
    Wien, ÖNB, Cod. 7245 = A

Berthold's continuation of Hermann the Lame's Chronicle has come down in two recensions.


1073–1085 Gregory VII Registrum

1073–1085 letters Rome
Hildebrand, Pope Gregory VII (1073–1085)
Registrum [Register of letters]
ed. E. Caspar, MGH Epistolae selectae 2 (Berlin, 1920–1923) (link)

original register survives:
    Vaticano, Archivio segreto Vaticano, Registrum latinum 2

early MS copy:
    Troyes, Bibliothèque municipale, 952 (saec. xiin)

Gregory VII's official register of 362 letters (and some other documents) is probably the most important single source for the Investiture Controversy.  For the extensive and complex transmission of individual and groups of letters, now see the recent Gregory VII letter database, ed. C. Schwaderer (2014): G7LDB (link).


1073–1085 Gregory VII Epistolae vagantes

1073–1085 letters various
Hildebrand, Pope Gregory VII (1073–1085)
Epistolae vagantes ["Wandering," or, unregistered letters]
ed. P. Jaffé, Bibliotheca rerum Germanicarum 2 (1865): 520–576 (link)
*ed. and trans. H.E.J. Cowdrey (Oxford, 1972)

The Latin text of the letters (from Cowdrey without critical apparatus) can be found here.

For the diffusion of the Epistolae vagantes, another crucial set of letters for the Investiture Controversy, see the Gregory VII letter database, ed. C. Schwaderer (2014): G7LDB (link).


1074-1076 Bernold of Constance & Alboinus Epistolae de incontinentia sacerdotum

1074-1076 letter/polemic Constance
Bernold of Constance & Alboinus presbyter
Epistolae de incontinentia sacerdotum [Letters on the unchastity of priests]
ed. F. Thaner, MGH LdL 2: 7–26 (link)
(Bernold: epist. I, III, V: 7-11, 12-16, 19-26; Alboinus: epist. II, IV, VI: 11-12, 16-19, 26)

one MS:
    Sélestat, Bibliothèque humaniste, 13 (olim 99) (saec. xi)

This exchange between two amici on the issue of clerical celibacy follows the 1074 conciliar prohibitions to that effect.


1075 Liemar of Bremen Epistola ad Hezilonem episcopum

1075 letters Hamburg-Bremen
Liemar, archbishop of Bremen (1072–1101)
Epistola ad Hezilonem episcopum [Letter to Bishop Hezilo]
ed. C. Erdmann, MGH Briefe 5: 33–35 (link)

one (post-1500):
    Hannover, GWLB, XI 671, fol. 181r-182v (saec. xvi) = Hildesheim letter collection

This letter reflects an early complaint about Gregory VII's power; Liemar has an interesting career as Henry IV's associate in the subsequent decades.

The Roman clergy take up the matter of whether church resources can be used for military expenditures (utrum bona ecclesiarum possent poni in pignore pro pecunia colligenda ad resistendum W. archiepiscopo Ravennati...).  They conclude in the negative: quaesitis auctoritatibus exemplisque sanctorum, unanimiter laudaverunt sacras res ecclesiarum nullatenus in militia saeculari exponendas, nisi in alimonia pauperum, in sancto usu rerum divinarum, et in redemptione captivorum.

John, bishop of Porto, heads the list of 16 signatories, which includes Azo cardinalis sancti Marci.

Mathilda warns that Henry IV is in possession of the pope's seal and might use it:

Mathildis Dei gratia si quid est, omnibus in Theuthonicorum regno commorantibus, salutem. Notum vobis facimus, quod Heinricus falsus rex furto subripuit sygillum domni papae Gregorii. Unde si quid audieritis quod discordet a nostra legatione, falsum arbitramini, neque mendaciis eius adquiescatis. Preterea episcopum Portuensem secum ducit; quoniam olim fuit familiaris domini papae. Si igitur aliquid vobiscum vel contra vos per eum vult operari, eum falsum testem nolite dubitare. Nulli umquam credatis, qui aliter quam nos dicere audebit. Sciatis domnum papam iam recuperasse Sutrium atque Nepe. Barrabas latro, id est Heinrici papa, ipse quoque aufugit. Valete, et de insidiis Heinrici cauti estote.

475 letters to and from Anselm, over 300 of which date from his appointment as archbishop and include two periods of exile from England (1097–1100 & 1105–1107). Henry I, Urban II, and Paschal II appear frequently as senders and receivers.

Some earlier letters, prior to his appointment as archbishop, are also relevant.  E.g. in a letter to an Abbot William, the monk Anselm writes about unchaste priests (Epist. 65, ed. Schmitt, vol. 3: 181-185 [link]).  This letter would later be drawn from in a brief treatise, De presbyteris concubinariis seu offendiculum sacerdotum (PL 158: 555-556 [link]), which would inspire Honorius' similarly named work.  Epist. 65 seems to date to the mid 1070s.

one MS

The date of this poem is difficult to determine: it may reflect the period during which Manegold was held in captivity by Henry IV (1098).  The author, "Hugo orthodoxus" may be a Roman cardinal loyal to Wibert and author of a couple of letters during the same time.

one MS (post 1500)
    Hannover, GWLB, XI 671, fol. 91r et seq. (saec. xvi)

The two letters of Cardinal Beno, also known as the Gesta Romanae ecclesiae contra Hildebrandum were later incorporated into this collection.  The remaining components are as follows:
    III. [1088–1098] Contra decretum Hildebrandi
    IV. [1095–1098] Cardinal Hugh to Hugh Candidus
    V. [1098] Roman cardinals
    VI. [1098] Cardinal Romanus to all faithful
    VII. [1098] Clement III to Cardinal Hugh
    VIII. [1098] Contra decreta Urbani (at Piacenza)
    IX. [1098] Cardinal Hugh to Cardinal Beno
    X. [1098] Cardinal Hugh to Mathilda of Tuscany
    XI. Excerpts from the Sixth Council of Toledo (638) and a decree of Nicholas I (858–867)

The longest text is no. III (380-403), very much a treatise with long quotations from the fathers; it criticizes the use of canon law by Gregory VII and his supporters.  The subsequent letters mostly relate to a synod held by the cardinals loyal to Clement III in Rome in August 1098.  The whole collection may have been compiled by the cardinal-deacon Hugh, the author of three letters and the recipient of one.  This Hugh is potentially the Hugo orthodoxus who penned the Versus contra Manegoldum.

The composition of this satirical work mocking the avarice of the papal court likely occurred shortly after the archbishop of Toledo's journey there in May 1099.  The opening line refers to Urbanus Romanae ecclesiae avidissimus pontifex.

one MS
    Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, 415 (ca. 1100) (autograph?) (link)

This collection of 35 treatises has gone by the name of Tractates Eboracenses, but they likely emanated not from York but Rouen. Partial editions (of specific tracts) were produced by Böhmer and Williams, with complete editions from Pellens and Ginther & O'Sullivan. The identification of individual tracts comes from the Corpus Christi MS catalogue edited by James (1911) 2.1: 303–308 (link), who identified 31 tracts, two of which (J23 & J24) contain further subdivisions.  An updated list is in Williams (1951), 206–207 (link).  Most tracts are relatively brief, though the longest, J24A: De consecratione pontificum et regum, fills over 50 MS folios. The tracts treat other issues as well, as revealed, e.g. in J22: Apologia pro filiis sacerdotum.

This polemic takes the form of a dialogue between master and student; the dating estimate is general.  If the master in question is Gerhoh of Reichersberg, as some have suggested, then the letter dates several decades later.

Reinerius of St-Laurent (MGH SS 20, 596 [link]) credits Rupert with Nonnulla scripta...quorum unus presbiter, immo concubinarius, presbiteros concubinis licenter uti posse, menstruatis astruxerat pagellis..., which is otherwise unknown, and Frauenknecht (1997) sees this as Rupert's work, though earlier Rupert specialists were less certain.

Conventiones inter Heinricum regem et Paschalis papam [Agreements between King Henry V and Pope Paschal II]
ed. L. Weiland, MGH Const. 1: 137–152 (link)

various MSS (see Weiland), including those of the Codex Udalrici and
    Vaticano, BAV, Vat. lat. 1984, fol. 193b (saec. xii)

These two sets of agreements form part of the negotiations for Henry V's imperial coronation in Rome.

1) Conventiones in ecclesia sanctae Mariae in Turri et in civitate Sutrii facta [Agreements made in the church of Santa Maria in Turri and in the city of Sutri], occurred in February. The most substantial and important document to come out of this is the Privilegium conventionis Paschalis, ed. Weiland, 141–142 (no. 90 [link]), in which the pope famously renounced regalia in an effort to end the Investiture Controversy.  Opposition to this proposal prevailed and Paschal II became the king's prisoner until he agreed in April to the

2) Conventio apud pontem Mammeum facta [Agreement made at Ponte Mammolo], where Paschal grants investiture to Henry and promises not to excommunicate him, ed. Weiland, 144–145 (no. 96 [link]).  This soon became known as the praeviligium [crooked privilege] and was denounced by reform partisans.

These negotiations of 1111 were publicized both in papal and royal relationes, which each provide narrative surrounding the treaties:
    Relatio registri Paschalis II, ed. Weiland, 147–150 (no. 99 [link])
    Encyclica Heinrici V, ed. Weiland, 150–151 (no. 100 [link])

There are several different continuations of Frutolf of Michelsberg's chronicle; whether Ekkehard was the author of all of them, as Waitz saw it, all save the Chronica imperatorum (1112–1114), as Schmale & Schmale-Ott suggest, or only this one has not been fully established. The MSS include a further continuation up to 1125, which does seem to be the work of Ekkehard.

The authorship of the Vita Paschalis has been widely debated. Duchesne identified its author with the cardinal Pandulf, author of the three subsequent papal biographies in the 1130s.  Additionally, it is unclear whether our author also collected the details for the brief biographies of the late eleventh-century popes, most notably Gregory VII and Urban II.

ca. 1140 Peter the Deacon et al. Chronica monasterii Casinensis

ca. 1140 (ca. 1099, ca. 1127, ca. 1140) history Montecassino
Leo Marsicanus/Guido of Montecassino/Peter the Deacon
Chronica monasterii Casinensis  [Chronicle of Montecassino]
ed. H. Hoffmann, MGH SS 34 (link)

twenty-three MSS (ante-1500): see Hoffmann, xxx-xxxii (link), of which the most important is
    Montecassino, Archivio e Biblioteca dell'Abbazia, 450 (saec. xiimed)

The chronicle was begun by Leo Marsicanus at the end of the eleventh century; he brought the narrative up to 1075.  It was continued by the monk Guido up to 1127.  Guido's work was revised and continued by Peter the Deacon ca. 1140. It is Guido's portion that is most relevant to the Investiture Controversy, but the dating of this entry reflects Peter's revision.

In Hoffmann's edition: 3–409 (Leo Marsicanus, various redactions [link]); 409–556 (Guido of Montecassino as revised by Peter [link]); 556–604 (Peter the Deacon's continuation [link]).
