- Title
Ein Würzburger Formularium der späten Stauferzeit in Clm 639.

- Abstract
The manuscript Clm 639 includes four works of Guido Faba (d. after 1248), among them his Summa dictaminis in a form that apparently predates 1238. Later on, the codex came to Würzburg, where a quire was added to the beginning, with 66 dictamina relating to ecclesiastical administration and jurisdiction in the city and diocese of Würzburg. The dictamina date from after 1259 and were composed by a clerk who enjoyed close relations to the Hohenlohe family and the Hospitallers at Mergentheim. Before the end of the thirteenth century, two further scribes used free spaces to add 13 texts, including a copy of the Gloria genitoris, Frederick II's famous admonition of his son, which concerns Pope Innocent IV (r. 1243-54) and King Conrad IV (d. 1254). The form it is included in here is probably similar to that issued to Conrad's tutor Gottfried of Hohenlohe. Unfortunately, the compiler cannot be identified with certainty, though possibilities include the magister Henricus poeta (d. before 1265), Berthold of Sternberg (d. 1287 as bishop of Würzburg) and Rudolf of Hürnheim (d. 1289 as officialis of Würzburg, the first known holder of that office). At any rate, the hitherto unedited dictamina shed new light on both the regional and imperial history of the mid-thirteenth century, the wars between Hohenlohe and Henneberg over the bishopric of Würzburg, a plan for an imperial election at Frankfurt, a proposal to Innocent IV to declare Bishop Bruno of Würzburg (d. 1045) a saint, Bohemian protection for the bishopric of Bamberg, and other matters. Furthermore, the compilation in Clm 639 shows how collections in the genre of the ars dictaminis transformed gradually to become formularies for specific chanceries.
