Thruth and propaganda

The read of Historia ecclesiae Anglicorum of Ordericus Vitalis(1075-1142) shows,

for his silence, a thruth, it is could show very odd, because a thruth is so solely said;

buti s is possible thata thruth isn’t said and it become thruth; what is this thruth?

A question that has name Constitutum Constantini, this is Order of Constantine

that at 1440 was denied by Lorenzo Valla, an Italian intellectual and philologist, that has

shownevery contraddiction and falsehood of this document, whit which the city of Rome

was donated to pope Sylvester by Constantine; today we know perfectly that

this documenti s false, and that was written at 9th century.

Ordericus Vitalis helped us because during read of life of Sylvester pope

never is mentioned this document, he has written history of Church

from Christ and he has written lifes of popes too, but this document

isn’t in life of pope Sylvester; we can think that Ordericus doesen’t known it,

but we can think that the he has took the lifes from Liber pontificalis,

a book with lifes of popes, and this document is denied at 1440, as I have said above;

then he doesn’t writes about Constitutum because is document was not so widespread,

because evidently very much interests were present and the Church wanted not provoke 

problems both itself that his policy.
