La riflessione di Pietro da Ancarano tra gli anni 1405 – 1409: dalla via cessionis al concilium generale utriusque partis

Abstract

The contribution aims to investigate the reflection of the jurist Pietro d'Ancarano between the years 1405-1409 and the passage from the idea of the via cessionis, expressed in the treaty of 1405 as the only solution to the schism, to the complete adherence to the program of the councilium generale utriusque partis of the cardinals separated from their respective popes. The case study offers the possibility of highlighting the relationship between legal production and the failure of the negotiations between the contenders to the papacy and to explore the role of Ancarano in planning phase of the council.
