Annates
As annates ( Latin for “annual yield”) in the 13th – 15th Century denotes the donation of the whole, later half of the first annual income of a newly appointed church office (a benefice ) to the Pope . Since the 15th century, annates have been used to denote all the charges to the Roman curia when a benefice is replaced , for which it represented one of the most important sources of income, including the servitia (fees to the cardinals and the chancellery ). During the Reformation , this combination of conferring office and earning money was heavily criticized at the councils . Nevertheless, annatas are still partly common in Italy today.
