medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Without seeing more of the context, my guess would be that he is asking for
an "unrestricted faculty or permission" to do something as often as it needs
to be done.

Sorry, my late-night mistake.  It's 'facultatem liberam' and he's asking for
that, and a 'licentiam tribunalis' from a Bishop.

"Liberam" doesn't seem to go with "facultas".  Can you supply more of the
context?

I've come across the phrase 'facultas liberam' in a 13thC petition and would
like to know if it's a standard one, and if so how one would translate it.
Niermeyer ducks out of translating 'liber', referring readers to various
scholarly articles in German (which I can't follow well enough), but I'd be
perticularly interested to know if it can mean 'free from sin' as well as
'free from restraint'.  The petitioner is asking for a number of different
things, and 'free faculty' and 'free patrimony' are both possible
translations in the context, so it would be most helpful to know if others
have come across the phrase.  

 

many thanks for any suggestions

 

Laura
