R5. Ps. Bartolus de Saxoferrato

Abstract

This chapter presents information on the manuscript which presents the discussion on the Satanic process as discussed in Chapter 6 of the book Lateinische Dialoge 1200 -1400. The discussion has three versions: Advocacia version, Mascaron version, and Bartolo version. The order between Mascaron and Advocacia is not clear. Considering plot and characterization the people created in the Advocacia, one is tempted to consider them as the younger text. The author says some heretics deny the validity of infant baptism, others even the efficacy of baptism at all. The use of the Latin terminology emphasizes the Parodi-matic character of the text. The original text of the chapter is in German.Keywords: baptism; Bartholus de Saxoferrato; Lateinische Dialoge 1200 -1400; Satanic process
