About this book

Die Konstantinische Schenkung ist die ungeheuerlichste, wirkmächtigste Fälschung der Weltgeschichte. Allein die Frage nach ihrer Entstehungszeit beschäftigte Generationen von Wissenschaftlern. Was aber genau ist die Konstantinische Schenkung? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage ist die Unterscheidung zweier semantischer Ebenen unerlässlich: zum einen das Constitutum Constantini, ein fiktives Privileg, in dem u.a. die der römischen Kirche von Kaiser Konstantin aus Dankbarkeit gewährten Rechte und Geschenke aufgeführt werden, zum anderen die Konstantinische Schenkung als ein sich seit der Mitte des 11. Jahrhunderts ausformendes Erinnerungsbild und Jedermannswissen. Nicht nur die Entstehung des Constitutum Constantini wird vom Autor völlig neu interpretiert, nämlich der fränkischen Opposition gegen Kaiser Ludwig den Frommen zugeschrieben, sondern auch die Geschichte seines bis in die Textimplantationen reichenden Missverständnisses seit dem Hohen Mittelalter dargestellt.

Der Band enthält im Anhang alle relevanten Texte im Original und in englischer Übersetzung.
