    • Often imposed on an entire community because its leaders had violated the rights and laws of the Church, popes exploited it as a political weapon in their conflicts with secular rulers during the thirteenth century.

    In this book, Peter Clarke examines this significant but neglected subject, presenting a wealth of new evidence drawn from manuscripts and archival sources. He begins by exploring the basic legal and moral problem raised by the interdict: From the twelfth-century, jurists and theologians argued that those who consented to the crimes of others shared in the responsibility and punishment for them.

    Hence important questions are raised about medieval ideas of community, especially about the relationship between its head and members. The book goes on to explore how the interdict was meant to work according to the medieval canonists, and how it actually worked in practice. In particular it examines princely and popular reactions to interdicts and how these encouraged the papacy to reform the sanction in order to make it more effective.

    Evidence including detailed case-studies of the interdict in action, is drawn from across thirteenth-century Europe--a time when the papacy's legislative activity and interference in the affairs of secular rulers were at their height.

    Its design was to put pressure on a person responsible for an offense against the Church by depriving those who were connected with that person of access to the services of the Church. This book is a useful study of the subject, although it is a limited one. Its author sticks resolutely to evidence from the thirteenth century. The curious reader will probably want to know more about the origins of the interdict, its relation to the Roman law interdict, and its history in later centuries. The book deals with the subject in two parts.

    The first is the interdict's place in the canon law of the thirteenth century.

    The initial task of the jurists was classification: For example, crusaders, charitable workers, and noblemen were often given freedom to hear religious offices in interdicted locations pp. The subsequent task of bringing interdicts within principles of divine and natural law proved harder. Interdicts touched the innocent, thus violating the established rule that punishment should be reserved for the guilty, and they were often imposed by aggrieved parties, thus posing a conflict in acting as judge in their own cause that was contrary to principles of natural law.

    Could any reason but practical advance of the Church's material interests be given for allowing interdicts? Yes, as it turns out, reasons were found.

    Biblical example and exploration of the nature of collective guilt provided answers of a sort. Indeed, interdicts led the canonists into some fruitful discussions of the right relation between kings and their subjects. The book's second part consists of an examination of the interdict in action. Others are noted more briefly. Countermeasures taken by secular rulers are explored, and reactions common within the laity are discussed.

    There is enough evidence to show that the laity resented the imposition of these interdicts. Why should they continue to pay tithes to a clergy that had gone out on strike?

    Why should a mortuary payment be due when burial in consecrated ground was forbidden? All the ingenuity of the canonists fell short of providing convincing answers to such questions, although they certainly tried.

    It must have been at least in part the result of such resentment that territorial interdicts were imposed less frequently as time went on. The thirteenth century seems to have been the high watermark.
