The right of collation (from Latin collatio , gathering) is a term from medieval and early modern church law . It describes the right to propose a candidate when filling a new spiritual office, usually for minor benefices . This legal relationship could take place on different levels. The possession of a certain manor could authorize the collation of a smaller priestly office in a chapel. Often monasteries or monasteries had the right of collation for pastoral positions in their pastoral care area.

As a rule, this proposal had to be confirmed by one or more bodies, usually the respective bishop and the sovereign . The final investiture was also not in the hands of the collator.

The right of collation was tied to further connections to the respective parish office. The collator was often obliged to take care of the structural maintenance of the church in question.
