Description from the seller
Pope Pius VII - Brief on Dispensation from Consanguinity
A manuscript Latin pontifical brief on parchment in folio (46 × 28 cm) granting a dispensation of consanguinity, issued by Pope Pius VII to the Diocese of Périgueux, in Rome, on 30 January 1823.
Signed "A. Willaume": Officialis deputatus "Pro Magistro Brevium". Counter-signature by an examiner from the Secretariat of the Briefs. Bottom right: "A Sub Dat." (a Subdatario) indicating registration and validation by the Office of the Subdatarius of the Roman Curia, March 20, 1823. On the back: "Guillaume", the secretary to the diocese of Périgueux. Wax seal under paper, enabling the authentication of the Brief.
Brief of Pope Pius VII addressed to the clergy, regarding the petition of François Cordere and Anne Teillac, from the diocese of Périgueux. The couple, from poor families, seeks a matrimonial dispensation due to a canonical impediment of the second degree of consanguinity and affinity. The pope, after recalling the prohibition of any forced marriage, authorizes the instruction of the case and
the possibility of validly celebrating the marriage, subject to strict observance of the forms of the Council of Trent.
Testimony from the Papal Chancellery under Pius VII; this document combines legal and canonical interest (standard formulas on impediments to marriage and the dispensation) and historical significance (a document issued by a pope at the end of his reign, contemporary with the Restoration in France).
Historical context:
Barnaba Chiaramonti, elected pope in 1800 under the name Pius VII, was one of the most notable pontiffs of the 19th century: signatory of the Concordat of 1801 with Napoleon, prisoner of the Emperor from 1809 to 1814, then restorer of the temporal power of the Papal States. In 1823, weakened by trials, he concluded a long pontificate of 23 years. The brief illustrates the practice of matrimonial dispensations granted by Rome, indispensable to bypass the canonical impediments of consanguinity or affinity, common in rural communities.
