Ex commisso nobis
Ex commisso nobis ( Latin : “From the office imposed on us”) is a papal bull in the form of a circumscription bull from Pope Innocent II. It is dated July 7th, 1136 and was signed by the Pope in Pisa . Also known as the Bull of Gniezno , it is known as the "Golden Bull" of the Polish language .
From this famous bull, although it was written in Latin, the oldest evidence of the Polish language and writing comes from . These are place names and glosses . In total, almost 400 Polish names of places and people appear in this document , which allow conclusions to be drawn about the sound development of Polish.
The original of the bull is kept in the archives of the Diocese of Gniezno and is considered one of the oldest Polish linguistic monuments. With the bull, the independence of the Archdiocese of Gniezno - and consequently the Polish Church - was restored from the authority of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg , after Bolesław III in 1135 . Wrymouth in the dispute between Innocent II and the antipope Anaclet II had come back to the side of Innocent II. It served as a protective bull for the Gnesen archbishop Jakob von Żnin and strengthened the position of the archbishopric and the Polish church province . From this the name "Bull of Gniezno" was derived. Furthermore, the dioceses of Poznan , Krakow , Breslau , Płock , Włocławek and finally Lebus were renewed and the diocesan borders confirmed.
