An Unknown Letter of Pope Paschal II

ECCLESIASTICAL reform at Toulouse during the Gregorian age has been described by Elisabeth Magnou.1 In her initial sentences she notes "la pauvrete de la documentation" a complaint recurring throughout he study.2 In a supplement to the narrative the author prints the Pieces justificatives. The last of these is a privilege of Pope Innocent II, dated February 15, 1137, for the cathedral church of St.-iIttienne at Toulouse-' This document reaffirms papal protection, bestowed originally by Pope Paschal II, for the maintenance of the ordo canonicus et vita regularis at St.-iGtienne, and confirms and delineates the capitular possessions. The letter from Paschal had been lost.4 A brief discussion of its discovery plus an edition will aid future analyses of the Gregorian Reform at Toulouse, as well as offering an unknown document for the future Gallia pontificia. The Innocentian letter can provide a methodological beginning. Unknown to Phillip Jaffe and his revisers, it has no entry in the Regesta pontificum Romanorum.5 That was an oversight: although not printed until this century, a notice of its existence was given by the Maurists a hundred years prior to the revised Regesta.6 The privilege received an edition only in 1913. As a result of his visit, in connection with the Papsturkunden in Frankreich, to the Archives departmentales de la Haute-Garonne in Toulouse, W. Wiederhold found and printed a copy of the text.7 Unfortunately no archival shelf mark is offered for the document used. The editor stated only that it was a thirteenth century copy for St.-:lItienne.8 Magnou did not use Wiederhold's research. As noted at the outset of this paper, however, she did print a rendition of Innocent's letter, with the following comment and archival designation "Original sur parchemin, Serie 4 G 202 -I-5-3".9
