Protocol (diplomacy)
In the teaching of documents from the Middle Ages and the early modern period ( diplomacy ), the formulaic introductory part of a document is referred to as the protocol or entry protocol .
The protocol of imperial and royal documents often contains an invocation of God ( invocatio ), sometimes with Chrismon (symbolic invocation); Name and title of the exhibitor ( initulatio ), often in connection with a formula of devotion ; as well as the indication of the recipient ( Inscriptio ), often combined with a greeting ( Salutatio ). The Inscriptio can partly be omitted in favor of the Promulgatio . The minutes of papal documents only contain intitulatio , inscriptio and salutatio . In " private documents " may be in the minutes immediately after the Invocatio also start dating find - mostly in notarial instruments depending on local habits - often, however, the dating is like royal / imperial and papal documents in eschatocol .
