medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Does anyone know if a vita of a candidate for canonization was required before a process could begin? Did the cardinals at Avignon expect, or at least strongly encourage, a biography to be submitted by those seeking a process? Did the Curia offer any guidelines on how a vita should be written? Or did the writer have to guess at what the committee would expect in a formal Life? Do we know if the Curia ever formally requested a vita? I'm particularly interested in the vita submitted for Nicholas of Tolentino in 1325.
Thanks all.
