Immantation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As Immantation ( lat. Immantatio "shell") is the formal dressing (Investitur) of the newly elected Pope with the Pope jacket (lat. Chlamys purpurea or mantus pontificalis - cf. Pontifex ), respectively.

Origin and history

With the formation of a Roman Curia from the late 10th century to administer the papal court, the ceremonial for the appointment of the newly elected Pope also changed. An adjustment to the customs of secular courts took place, which was ultimately attributed to the Donation of Constantine and the resulting equality of the papacy with the empire. A clear expression of this claim is the purple color of the coat together with the use of the “imperial” porphyry for floors and seats.

According to a first confirmed testimony with Gregory VII , the immantation, together with the presentation of the pallium and the ferula, became central components of the Pope's elevation.

The events after the elections of Alexander III show the importance of immantation in this early period . and Viktor IV in September 1159, which marked the beginning of a decade-long schism . Even more than the enthronement of the rival popes, it was immantation that the parties focused on. The supporters of the (counter) Pope Viktor IV actually brought the coat forcibly during the elevation ceremony for Alexander III. in their possession. As a result, it could only be immanted a few days after Viktor. The earlier immantation of Viktor even formed a weighty argument for the fact that Viktor was recognized as the rightful Pope at the church assembly in Pavia in February 1160.
